Visiting John's Cove, Cape Forchu
- Getting there
- About a kilometre before Cape Forchu lighthouse on the road out from Yarmouth.
- Safety
- Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
