Beauport Beach
A small southwestern cove reached down a cliff path, quieter than the beaches around it.
Updated 3 September 2026
Beauport is a small cove on the southwestern coast between headlands, reached by a path from a clifftop car park and then a set of steps down, and because of the walk it stays quieter than the larger bays on either side. The sand is pale, the water is clear and rocks at both ends give some snorkelling. There is nothing at all on the beach: no kiosk, no toilets, no lifeguard.
What you'll find
- The cove - a small beach enclosed between headlands.
- The clear water - the clean water on the southwestern coast.
- The rock ends - the outcrops at both sides for snorkelling.
- The walk in - the path and steps that keep the numbers down.
When to go
May to September is the beach season. The path is slippery when wet. The cove faces southwest and holds the afternoon sun.
Practical notes
There are no facilities of any kind on the beach. The path and steps are steep in both directions. It still fills on the best summer days.
Nearby
Portelet Bay is southeast, and La Cotte is northwest.
