View of Freshwater East Bay

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you're heading from the village, this cliff top viewpoint is wheelchair accessible. At the viewpoint is an interpretation panel, bench and picnic table, with fine views overlooking the bay.

View from West Moor Cliff

Highlight • Natural Monument

Expect lovely, elevated sea views on this section of coast between Freshwater and Manorbier. At its highest point, West Moor Cliff reaches 299 feet (91m), so the views are unsurprisingly expansive.

Tip by

2.70 km

The nearest roadside parking is approx 1.5 miles away, so Swanlake Bay is accessible only from the coastal path. You will be very glad that you made the effort. At high tide it's a shingle beach but at low tide, golden sands and revealed with plenty of rock pools to explore, all backed by low cliffs. You're likely to share the experience with only the local wildlife, or passing walkers on the coast path. Enjoy!
