Port Quin beach
The beach at Port Quin is accessed by slipways either side. The top of the beach is pebbly and this quickly gives way to a large rock platform. As the tide goes out, pockets of sand are also exposed. A stream runs down the centre of the beach making the rocks it passes over weedy and slippery.
