Western Undercliff Beach has a lot going for it – visitors report a calm, quiet atmosphere with lovely sea views, well-maintained shelters and grassed areas that create a genuine haven-like quality. The beach is clean and sandy with good parking nearby, and there are toilets on site. Access is primarily via steep steps rather than a lift, which is worth knowing about when you plan your visit.
