The beach is covered in a mixture of grey flint and chalk pebbles that make a unique sound as the waves rise and fall onto the shore. There is sand below the low water mark and some sandy areas to sit if you walk to the more eastern side of the bay. There is also a rock ledge revealed at low tide at this side, which is great for rock pooling with your kids.Smugglers once used the caves around the bottom of the chalk cliffs that are exposed at low tide – if you wish to explore them it is best to find a local guide as you can become cut off by the tide. Kayaking is the ideal way to see them and the other small bays. This beach is popular for surfing and water sports and boats will moor offshore to come ashore. The Freshwater Independent Lifeboat is launched from this bay when required by those in trouble at sea.Overlooking the bay is the Albion Hotel that houses a public bar or visit the Dimbola Museum and galleries for an afternoon tea..ACCOMMODATION:GROUND FLOOR APARTMENTKitchen diner: range oven, with gas hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle, dining table and chairs, high chair, sofa and french doors out to patio and gardenLounge: wood burner, 2 sofas, side tables, wall mounted Smart TV,Bedroom 1: double bed, travel cot, bedside tables, hanging rail and door to small terrace, with table and chairsBedroom 2: twin beds (can be made into a double on request), bedside tables and hanging railShower room: walk in shower and wash basinWC 1: toilet and wash basinWC 2: toilet and wash basinOUTSIDEGarden with 2 terraces and outside dining furniture, under sunshade pergola, coal BBQ provided for guests.Hot tub located on terraceAllocated parking for 2 guests cars adjacent to the garden please note: the owners vehicle does occupy a single space within the allocated parking area..For hygiene reasons, the hot tub water is changed between each guest’s stay.
