One of the county's more dramatic beaches. It gets it's name from the huge slate outcrops scattered along the beach and not the inordinate number of steps you need to go down to get to the beach. It is said that the outcrops were put there by Bedruthan, a giant, and used as stepping stones.

At low tide the beach itself stretches for over a mile with plenty of interesting nooks and crannies.

As the numerous warning signs point out the cliffs are dangerous as are the tides and there is a good deal of potential to become cut off at high tide.

Dogs welcome all year.

There is a fairly substantial privately owned car park stretching to near the top of the cliffs.

Nearby are Carnewas cliffs owned by the National Trust with a cafe and toilets.
