Location and the Beach The beach is comprised of large pebbles with occasional patches of sand and backed by chalk cliffs. It is not overlooked and attracts few walkers. In the past the beach has been closed owing to cliff falls. The cliffs are fast eroding, which is how they're white - don't sit too close!

A half mile stretch of beach between Milford on Sea and Barton on Sea. A Pay and Display Car Park (Credit Card or Ringo APP) can be accessed from B3058 Milford Road between Milford on Sea and Barton on Sea. See Google Maps or SatNav SO41 0LJ. Although display signs say there is no access to the beach, access is possible with caution necessary at times. This is because the whole coastline suffers from extensive erosion causing the cliffs to be unstable especially after stormy or very wet weather.

A very popular naturist beach, so if you want to avoid the crowds, walk further down the beach. The beach consists of large pebbles which bank steeply into the sea. These are not easy to walk on and uncomfortable, so good footwear and maybe some form of cushioning/air bed to lay on is a good idea. Very small pocket

Tides can be strong and the cliffs crumbly, so care is advised.
