Three Cliffs Bay
A bay with three limestone peaks, a winding river, dunes, and castle ruins. It is one of Britain's most photogenic beaches.
Three Cliffs Bay gets its name from three connected, triangular limestone cliffs on the eastern side of the bay. The Pennard River winds through the dunes before reaching the sea. On the shore stand the ruins of Pennard Castle, and the composition is considered a classic. There is no car park right at the beach. You can reach it on foot in about 20 to 30 minutes from Southgate or Parkmill. Rip currents are strong at high tide, so swimming is not recommended. The river can cut off your route when the tide comes in, so check a tide table before setting out.
