French Beach Trail
Great French Beach
A coastal trail near Durrell with a pebble cove, rocky outcrops, and sea views. It's an easy walk for spotting icebergs.
French Beach lies on the eastern side of the Durrell community and is named after early French fishermen who used to land here. The coastal trail links the Great French Beach with a small cove. Along the way you can see sea-carved rock formations, wildflowers, and icebergs drifting in from the distance. The route is about 1 to 2 km one way and is easy. In summer, a picnic on the pebble beach is a nice option. It is not far from the Spiller's Cove Trail and the two can be walked together.
