This is a glorious little section of coast path near Druidston Beach. Just a little further south is the excellent viewpoint at Haroldstone Chins.

One of our favourite beaches in the area. A less obvious one so doesn’t get as busy, there are free public toilets and a water bottle top up, pub, (often) an ice cream van (although expensive mr whippy and not a patch on Pointz Castle ice cream…but then what is?!). There is a pay car park if you drive there but the pay by phone can’t be relied on as no phone signal! Don’t think it takes cards either.

Lots of classic views at Druidston Haven - the "Dru" is an eclectic venue with a relaxed vibe in the perfect position overlooking the beach. The "teletubby house" is also always a point of interest on the walk to the beach. Just a shingle bank at high tide, at low tide a wide expanse of sand is revealed giving plenty of room to accommodate the relatively few visitors. The cliffs backing the beach are pretty spectacular as well.

A really special viewpoint along the coastal path, Haroldston Chins is precariously perched in the foreground, with the coastline of Druidston Haven, Ricketts Head and Newgale stretching off into the distance. Take a photo while you're here, it might have changed by the next time you come back. Wheelchair accessible via a tarmac path, if your starting point is the small parking space off the road.

A long and wide sandy beach at low tide. Various Life Guard areas for safe bathing and surfing available.

Ravens and choughs can be spotted at nearby Rickets Head, and coastal grazing by ponies has been reintroduced to manage the slopes.

Nolton Haven is a narrow inlet of pebbles and sand at high tide but at low tide, a long narrow beach is revealed backed by high cliffs. There is a car park, toilet facilities and a pub here.
