8 Very good

This charming little sandy beach, with its picturesque castle views, is an absolute delight. The parking and facilities are top-notch, making it a convenient and comfortable spot to spend a day in the sun. However, due to its size, it can get quite crowded, especially during peak season. It's worth noting that the beach can become quite rocky and the water quickly deepens when the tide goes out, which may not be ideal for children. Nevertheless, the river nearby provides a fun and refreshing alternative for the little ones to splash around in.

This beach is a haven for dog-lovers and never gets too crowded. The waves are perfect for body-boarding, but it's important to note that there are no lifeguards on duty.

The beach has light sand with pebbles and offers beautiful scenic views. Additionally, there are rock pools to explore and the beach is conveniently located on the coastal path for those who want to venture out further.

Last week, we took a stroll along the coastal path from Manorbier to Freshwater Lake and back. The beach had a mixture of light sand and pebbles.

10 Exceptional

The beach is situated in a picturesque location that offers breathtaking views. It is an ideal spot for children as it boasts of rock pools and a stream that flows across the beach. However, the sand quality is not the finest, and swimming is not recommended. The beach has ample parking space available, which can be paid for at the meter. Additionally, the short and flat walk from the car park makes it one of the most easily accessible beaches in the area.
