Runswick Bay

Because it is sheltered by the lofty crag of Lingrow Knowle, the bay is a tranquil spot where you can moor a boat or simply pitch a deck chair and take a swim.

It's one of the few safe swimming areas for quite a few miles, though there is no lifeguard cover. Waterskiing is quite popular here too.
At low tide the beach reveals a mile of rocky outcrops and countless fossils, so it's fabulous for beachcombing.
Quality Coast Award winner.

Be aware of the ramp down to the beach and car park, which has a 1 in 4 gradient.
