The sheltered beach at Garwick Bay lies at the end of Garwick Glen, one of the prettiest glens on the Island. The valley at Baldrine has the River Gawne passing through it and joining the sea at the bay.
The secluded beach here combines shingles and rocks backed by woodlands. Although it is not a bathing beach, it is very popular with walkers and dog owners and is used for fishing.
Garwick Bay Beach is dog-friendly, with no dog restrictions throughout the year.
Legend has it that during the 18th century, the glen was a centre for smuggling, and Dirk Haiterick’s Cave behind the beach is named after a notorious local smuggler.
The beach has no facilities although in Baldrine village you have a pub with parking.
