The beach offers breathtaking scenery and a serene atmosphere that is perfect for relaxation. Even when the wind is blowing, the natural barriers of rocks and cliffs provide a shield that allows you to enjoy the beach without feeling the wind's force. The secluded location adds to the charm of the beach and makes it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat.

The beach exudes serenity and is teeming with various creatures. A leisurely stroll from the parking area is a pleasant and serene experience. During our walk, we were delighted to witness a stunning kestrel in flight, hunting for its prey, adding to the natural beauty of the place.

Rinsey Cove is a hidden gem that I almost hesitate to reveal. We were wise to visit during the quieter season, as the road leading to the cove is narrow and the parking area is small. I can only imagine the chaos during peak season. However, in mid-September, the beach was perfect, with only a handful of other visitors (and their furry friends, as dogs are welcome year-round) to share the sandy shores, coves, and rock pools with. For those who love the sun, the beach is a dream come true, while the more adventurous can explore the cool rock pools and caves. Just be warned that the path to and from the beach is steep, rough, and narrow, so it's not recommended for those who aren't comfortable with a bit of scrambling. Wearing flip-flops is also a no-go. If you're up for a bit of hiking, there's a cliff-top walk that takes you past a dramatic mine ruin perched atop the cliffs. Rinsey Cove truly is a magical place that's worth the effort to get there.

What a splendid trek! The beach was absolutely breathtaking. I relished in discovering the charming nooks and crannies, and strolling along the rocky terrain during low tide. However, the descent and ascent of the trail can be quite challenging for those with mobility issues.
