A lovely gem of a bay, virtually inaccessible except by boat or a hazardous, life-threatening scramble down the loose shaly cliffs.

Taken from the Pembrokeshire Coast Path in slightly misty conditions.

On the north (far) side of the bay, the dark shale cliffs change in character to the pale, knobbly, rounded masses of lavas and tuffs belonging to the Porth Maenmelyn and Strumble Head Volcanic Formations (Ordovician).

The dark cleft in the shaly part of the cliff visible to the right of, and slightly above, the centre of the photo (see note), forms the upper part of the old footpath access to the beach, now much degraded and in a dangerous state.
