Bouley Bay
Bouley Bay is a tiny harbour on the north coast flanked by green cliffs with a sandy shelf descending into deep blue waters. Follow a series of hairpin bends as the road winds its way down towards the bay to reveal a deep anchorage. The pebble beach shelves steeply into deep waters best enjoyed by stronger swimmers.
