Access to the beach Top secret way down to the beach created by fishermen to get to their mark, their secret fishing spots. The way is near vertical using a cheese grater polypropylene rope as a handrail. I came up from about half way. The dog nearly bottled out. I wouldn't like to attempt it in Wellingtons and carrying a fishing rod.
