Background
Description
Author David Clegg describes the beach as "small and sandy and just one lovely granite cottage", while the Rough Guide to Britain notes the rocky outcrops, inlets and coves in the vicinity. 0.75 mi to the east is Lambsoden Cove, accessed via a coastal footpath. There is an estate there with 70 acres of farmland. Nearby is Dead Man Point. The beach contains the tall grey-flowered plant dittander and reed grass, which typically grows between 8 and 12 feet high. <gallery mode=packed> Evening on Hemmick Beach - geograph.org.uk - 995379.jpg Hemmick Beach - geograph.org.uk - 412395.jpg Hemmick Beach - geograph.org.uk - 482043.jpg </gallery>
