Penberth Cove
The beach at Penberth Cove is dominated by the slipway and at high tide, either side of this are granite boulders. At low tide, some sand is revealed but most of the time the slipway reaches the sea. Dogs are not allowed on the slipway for food hygiene reasons - fish for human consumption is landed here. The small fishing fleet uses an electric winch to haul the boats up the slipway. The inlet itself is relatively sheltered but outside this the currents are very strong so any swimming needs to take this and the boats into account.
