About Simon's cove
Secluded Rocky cove hidden down behind a cliff face. Awkward track down from the house at the car park but worth it. Can be busy when tides are suited to swimming in mid day afternoon so try and go when tides are in morning or late evening. Very deep pool to jump in when tides are right and great sheltered water.
