Eype Beach

Eype Beach is a shingle beach located in an unspoilt area. It is known for its natural beauty and calm atmosphere. The beach is dog-friendly all year round and does not restrict barbecues. However, visitors are reminded to be responsible pet owners and not let their dogs roam around unnoticed. The beach is easily walkable despite being a shingle beach. It is surrounded by high cliffs, so visitors are advised to take care. The difference between high and low tide at Eype Beach is roughly 4 metres, which adds to its unique charm. One of the notable features of Eype Beach is the lovely stream flowing through it. This, along with the possibility of finding fossils, makes it an interesting destination for nature lovers. The beach is accessible via steep steps, making it a bit challenging to reach, but visitors often find the effort worth it. However, it may not be suitable for people with limited mobility. The car park is located right next to these steps, providing direct access to the beach. The car park operates on an honesty box system, with a suggested donation for parking. Eype Beach is not typically crowded, providing a relaxing environment for visitors. Many people enjoy walking their dogs along the coast. Due to the pebbly nature of the beach, it is recommended to wear walking boots or trainers for comfort. Swimming is a common activity at Eype Beach, although the water quality can vary. The beach has a significant slope and drops off quickly into the sea, so swimmers should exercise caution.
