Description

North facing sea cliff on good sandstone. Toilets available at the car park. Very short walk in (less than 2 mins).

Approach

Park at the Cummingston playground, off the road to the left if travelling from Burghead towards Hopeman. Walk (or take the children's slide) down to the paved path, and proceed either straight down to the beach then left, or left along the path for approximately 100 metres until the embankment on your right opens out and you are able to descend to the base of the cliffs. NB - the whole area is tidal.

Descent notes

Stakes at the top of popular climbs to ab off of. Rigging protection to belay up a second can be challenging.
