Maceley Cove

Maceley Cove is a secluded beach located on the south coast, known for its clear water and sandy terrain. The cove is characterized by its dramatic views, including a striking black wall on one side, and unique rock formations. It is particularly appreciated by swimmers looking for a less crowded spot, as it offers a sheltered area for swimming. Access to the beach can be challenging due to the steep walk down from the coast path. Visitors are advised to be prepared for this hike, especially when carrying heavy gear. Despite the challenging access, the beauty of the area makes the journey worthwhile. The beach is also conveniently located near a car park, although the walk from there to the beach is quite a distance. The cove is often quiet, providing a peaceful and stunning environment for visitors. However, the level of crowd can vary depending on the time of visit.
