Rose Cottage - Guidebook
Beach
Our favourite, a couple of minutes drive away with a large carpark (paid) or continue passed the car park and there is another car parking area which is free. A huge sandy beach excellent for swimming, surfing and bodyboarding. The beach is overlooked by Manorbier castle open to the public for a small charge. Just up from the castle is great local pub, coffee shop and restaurant with a local post office and general store.

The best beach for surfing with local companies teaching and hiring equipment from the main car park. There are extensive sand dunes with Dobbie’s resting place (from Harry Potter) and a wonderful seafood van.

Church doors is a stunning rocky beach with an amazing arch in the cliffs. Accessed down a set of steps from the coastal path, you can walk from the house in around 20 minutes or for a shorter walk, drive and park at the youth Hostel in Manorbier. At low tide you can also access, through a fault in the rock wall on the right side of Church doors, the secret sandy Skrinkle Haven beach but beware getting stuck though!

Is a very picturesque beach which you can explore from Stackpole Quay. Access is a walk and you will need to get there early on a nice day as the National Trust car park fills up fast.
