Amarreurs Beach
Amarreurs Harbour is a very small fishing harbour populated by just a handful of vessels. There is a mix of fine and coarse sand, along with some shingle areas. The old stone pier is very popular with children for jumping off and swimming around.
On a spring low tide it is possible to walk right across the mainly sandy bay to Rousse. Along the way, the low tide reveals some reasonable sized rock pools.
Toilets are located next to the car park and playground. At the northern end of the playground you’ll find a ice cream and snack cabin at the top of the slipway that leads onto Ladies’ Bay.
