Access to the beach is via 2 wooden boardwalks or a concrete slipway. All of these end directly onto the sandy beach which is uneven and not suitable for wheelchairs. The South West Coast Path runs through the site leading off to the east to Hope Cove and to the West to Thurlestone. Both of these routes use grass and mud tracks and are very steep in places.
