Joss Bay

Lovely beach, but for horrible visitors dropping litter everywhere, despite there being large bins available in the car park above. What’s with people who can manage to carry stuff to the beach but can’t carry it back.

Great beach. Family friendly with a cafe, toilet and a shower to clean off with at the end of the day.

My husband and I took our labrador here on a Monday in October 2023(when it was 22 degrees C!) and we loved it!  There must have only been about 10 people on the beach and a few dogs.  Our pooch had the time of her life on the gorgeous stretch of sand and the blue sky and warm breeze just finished it all off nicely.  No facilities were open but we didn’t expect that.  It was delightful.  Thank you, Joss Bay.

I thought this beach would be gorgeous but was disappointed. It looks great at first and the sand is lovely but the sea is so full of seaweed it wraps around your legs which isn’t a very nice feeling. It just doesn’t feel clean and there are some sharp rocks poking out of the sand that my son cut his foot on. Obviously rocks are just part and parcel but when the area you can swim in is unbelievably small and cramped I was unhappy that it happened. This was when the tide was still coming in. The seagulls are very hungry and stole chips, an ice-cream cone and some chicken off a plate from almost everyone around us…we managed to keep our food to ourselves but only because we were being so careful that we didn’t enjoy any of it! The toilets were a disgrace…filthy and smelly to the point that I couldn’t even use them and waited until I got home. The good things were the trampolines & bouncy castle, the cafe and the very fun waves that we did enjoy bobbing and crashing about in once the tide came in. Oh, and we parked in the field behind the car park for free.

Love this place. Clean beach, perfect for kids. Not too much distraction for them, cafe, loo, shop. Stunning cliffs & nice rock pools to explore at low tide. Pesky seagulls can be a nuisance, but otherwise a lovely beach.
