Talland Bay
There are two shingle beaches at Talland Bay. The right-hand beach (with the café) is known as Talland Sand which as the name suggests is the more sandy of the two beaches. The other one is known as Rotterdam Beach.
On both beaches, as the tide goes out, finer sand is revealed. A large rock platform with rockpools along the cliffs to the right is also uncovered at low tide. The rocks are particularly colourful with reds, brown and greens.
At low tide, another small beach to the far left - known as Stinker Cove - joins with Rotterdam beach. There is no separate access to this beach so care must be taken not to be cut off by the tide.
