| Description:Downderry
beach is a long and spacious sand and shingle beach with many
rock pools at low tide. The main part of Downderry beach is
accessible via a sloping path (next to the toilets) or via
the slipway. Note that the car park at Downderry is small.
The east part of Downderry beach which stretches for half
a mile is usually quiet due to difficult access. It can be
reached either by climbing over rocks or scrambling down a
slippery path (which can be found on the coast path). Note
that the east part of Downderry beach has a reputation as
an unofficial nudist beach |
