Set in a small cove in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

At very low tide it is possible to clamber around the left hand side of the beach to 'Fishing Rock' and 'Blythes Cove' but care must be taken not to be cut off by rising tides. Shops, café and a public house are within a short walk. Hele is adjacent to Hillsborough Nature Reserve.
