A cliff path drops to Musselwick Sands on the north side of the Marloes peninsula, facing across St Brides Bay. It’s a broad, quiet beach when the tide is out, but it covers completely at high water and the access point can cut off, so a tide table is worth a look first. There are no facilities and no road down — the walk is the point.
