Location
Church Bay is a picturesque hamlet in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Church Bay beach is just 500 metres away. A safe, sandy beach flanked by low rocks with pools and backed by a ridge of large pebbles and boulders. Smaller coves and caves can be easily reached, if you explore along the Coastal Foot Path which runs along the cliffs above the beach. It is sometimes possible to spot seals, porpoises, choughs and buzzards.
In Church Bay you will find:
- The Lobster Pot Restaurant with inside and outdoor seating. Opening times vary – it is recommended to book in advance.
