There is not much chance of getting access improved any time soon, given the battles with councils over the last couple of years to keep the beaches open for CO. The beach is definitely accessible at low (and even medium) tide, only at the highest tide does the water hit the base of the little cliffs. The base is very rocky though, so it's not a barefoot walk. It's a great beach once you actually get in there, and definitely worth the effort!

My partner is mildly mobility impaired making it tricky. It's *almost* accessible via the path, but not quite. So, is the beach actually accessible at low tide? (a wade through the water, even up to a metre deep would be fine) The problem with the path is that it’s quite eroded, and there’s a couple of spots where climbs over rocks are required.

It can be a little tricky in a few places, but generally is the easier choice unless the tide is right down! The walk is worth the effort, Sunnyside is a great beach and we encourage everyone to do whatever they can to make it a friendly, safe place to be.

Is it just like that at high tide or is it always like this? Tried to go to Sunnyside recently – found it impossible to get around the rocks and along the path.
