Hiking

A beautiful little sandy bay. The coastal path goes above it or you can descend into the bay.

Hiking

When approaching from the north it may be tempting to shortcut down a grassy slope. This gets very slippy in the wet, so follow the path round the top of the bay, where you will find the main path and steps leading to the shore.

Hiking

Hackley Bay is a lovely sandy beach on the North Sea. It's windy but also sheltered. Here and the surrounding dunes and inland areas are home to a lot of sea birds and seals.
