THE UNWRITTEN RULES⚠️
Check the tide times. This route is not accessible at high tide.
Beware of eroding cliffs. Don’t go too close to the edge.
Watch out for golf balls🏌️.
🏃♀️ THE RUN 🏃♂️
Tough terrain! 🥵 Chose between hard wet sand or soft dry sand at low tide. You will also need to lock in for them cliff hills on the way home.
The views and the runners high ❤️ will more than make up for the hard graft.
🚶♂️ THE SLOWER OPTION🚶♀️
Avg. Time to walk · 60-80mins
See the coast from two of its best angles. From the sandy shoreline 🦀 to the steep cliff edges🌿.
This beach is never quite the same twice. Tide🌊, weather🌈🌧️and seasons keep changing the scene - this stretch of beach and cliff never disappoints.
Overstrand is a good half way stop for grub at the White Horse or coffee & cake on the cliff top. There is also an ice-cream van 🍦on the clifftop most of the sunny season.
