About
Sharrow Point Beach, also known as Grotto Beach, is an excellent sandy beach with rock pools. The beach is dog-friendly and divided into smaller coves by small rock outcrops, so keep an eye on the tides, as areas can be cut off at high tide.
The name Grotto comes from the National Trust property, which preserves a small cave excavated by hand in 1874 by a hermit called Lugger, the cave is fenced off to the public. Lugger inscribed verses on the ceiling to relieve his boredom.

Access and Facilities

You have a small car park on the coast road, and then a walk involving some steep steps down to the beach. You can also access Freathy Beach from the car park.
