Good to know
- Steps and handrails make it the easiest entry for first-timers; at low tide the sea goes far out, so check tide times before swimming
- Ferries can send sudden large waves; no diving from the platforms or rocks
- Check water quality first: Seapoint got a no-swim notice after heavy rain in June 2026
