Atherfield Beach (Atherfield Point)

This attractive stretch of sandy beach is somewhat off the beaten track meaning you are almost guaranteed a little peace and quiet. Access is via unmaintained cliff paths which tins out the visitors even more.
Although swimming is possible here, we aren’t going to recommend it. There are no lifeguards and Atherfield is located on the more exposed south west coast. The combination of frequent strong currents and steeply shelving beach mean caution is advised.
