A secluded south-coast cove with a sandy beach, a pebble bank and sheltering cliffs, plus a small working harbour.
Tides are the same island-wide. These are today’s heights and times for Saints Bay.
Saints Bay is reached by a winding lane or from the surrounding cliff paths. The main beach sits beside a small fishermen’s landing, and boats use the harbour.
Swimming is possible at different states of tide when conditions suit. Because Saints is a working harbour, swimmers should stay visible, watch for boat movements and keep clear of the harbour access.
The beach area changes noticeably through the tide. Keep an eye on boat movements around the harbour whichever state of tide you visit.

Swimming. Sea swimming carries risks: currents, waves, rocks, submerged structures, boats and cold water. This page is for planning and does not confirm conditions are safe.
