Rugged beauty off the beaten track, with very few visitors
Duckpool Beach is a cherished retreat, treasured for its untamed charm and secluded atmosphere nestled at the base of the Coombe Valley. Here, visitors are welcomed by the pristine beauty of a tranquil cove, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Families will find endless delight in the expansive open space, where children can roam freely and discover the wonders of nature. The beach’s large rockpools promise hours of exploration and excitement, providing a playground of discovery for young adventurers. While the entrance may be lined with imposing pebbles, the reward of a vast expanse of sand revealed at low tide is well worth the journey.
For those with a spirit of adventure, we recommend ascending the cliff path in either direction, where panoramic vistas await, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding coastline. The Coombe Valley also offers a variety of scenic walks, each unveiling its own hidden treasures.
