Favourite beach
The northern part of the bay has a straight coastline and is sandy with clear water. The bay is surrounded by woodland known as Priory Woods owned by the National Trust. The sea bottom is predominantly sandy. A shallow sandbank called Gull Bank exists just offshore which keeps a long thin pool of water next to the beach at low tide. The bay can be accessed by walking round Horestone Point from Seagrove Bay Thanks to the Daily Mail and Priory Bay for the use of their pictures.
