Much loved by the locals for its rock pools, which house a large array of wildlife from anemones to crabs and fish. At low tide, the gently sloping sandy beach is excellent foar paddling and swimming. If you want to explore, follow the old smugglers’ path around the base of Damage Hue to Sandy Cove, a steeply sloping beach that is excellent for snorkeling, especially in the summer months when the sea turns a clear turquoise. All sorts of fish can be seen swimming in the kelp beds in the slightly deeper water. You can also explore further along the beach in either direction, although in this case it is important to keep an eye on the tide.
