Holywell Bay has a lovely sandy beach backed by sand dunes. There are lots of rock pools to explore and a stream runs through the beach.
The large twin rocks just off the coast that can be seen from Holywell Bay are called Gull Rocks.

Local note
Holywell Bay is the kind of place where the day is shaped by simple things: tide, weather, a picnic, and time to notice the coast properly.
Plan the final walk from the car park and check whether the beach is easy with pushchairs, tired legs or beach bags.
A useful read before visiting with children, especially for tides, paths, facilities and simple beach expectations.
Beach and cove guides can help anglers understand access, ground, tide and nearby marks before packing kit.
Look up tide times, swimming guidance and weather before you go, especially on wilder beaches.
