Clifton Beaches

  • 4.7 out of 5 on Google (786 reviews)

Four sheltered coves reached by steps from the road, each with its own crowd.

Why it’s worth it

Clifton is a string of four small beaches separated by granite outcrops, numbered 1 to 4 from north to south. The rocks shelter the sand from the south-easter, which is why people come here on days when other beaches are scoured. Steps from Victoria Road lead down, so expect a climb back with your bags.

Highlights

  • Four numbered coves divided by granite
  • Shelter from the south-easter
  • Clear but very cold Atlantic water
  • Beach volleyball and a lively crowd
