Benoath Cove

Benoath Cove is a hidden gem located just off the coastal path. This stunning beach is characterized by its natural beauty, with a variety of rocks, arches, and caves to explore. At low tide, the beach expands significantly, revealing more of these natural features. At high tide, while the cove becomes smaller, it remains a great spot for a swim. A unique feature of this beach is a small waterfall that adds to its charm. The beach is accessible via a steep track, which some may find a bit challenging. However, the descent is generally considered worth the effort, with some parts even featuring a rope for assistance. Despite its somewhat secluded location, the beach can get a little busy, particularly when coasteering groups visit. Nevertheless, its slightly awkward accessibility tends to keep the crowds at bay, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a peaceful beach experience. From the South West footpath, visitors can enjoy views of Long Rock to the right and Lye Rock to the left, further enhancing the natural appeal of Benoath Cove.
