Not for the faint hearted, this beach is adjoining Cancleave Strand and is accessed from the coastal path via an abseil down a 20m rope. Both beaches are beneath high cliffs which are constantly being eroded. Dogs are welcome but we are not sure how your dog will reach the beach, unless of course Patch is able to abseil.
The beach itself is nothing special, shingle and stone with little or no beach at high water. Access is arduous with a lengthy decent down the cliff path and a 20m abseil at the bottom down a rope.
Park at St Genny's Church and follow the footpath across fields until you meet the coastal path. Take the narrow steep path to Thorn's Beach using the rope at the bottom but take care as it's not too secure. Cleave Strand is to the north and is a shingle/sand beach which allows dogs year round.
Follow the coastal path to Storm Tower. Walk for another 200 metres towards the southerly end and there's a very narrow and steep path. Great care should be taken as access is difficult. Once on the beach, Compass Cove has grey sand and shingle with interesting rock formations. Swimming is not recommended, nor is surfing. Dogs are allowed year round.
