A short walk along the footpath from Sandwick towards howtown takes you through some beautiful pine woods and some very pretty swimming bays. Keep on the path until you come to an open crag, (Approximately 1 mile from Sandwick) Quick change then jump in straight from the rock. Crystal clear clear water and boats gently passing you by. Beautiful. Note: the walk is shorter from the Howtown side but parking is harder.
