Freshwater Bay and Stag Rock

Image: © Graham Horn Taken: 19 Jun 2009

This is the eastern end of the beach at Freshwater Bay. Stag Rock is so named because allegedly a stag jumped onto it from the mainland to escape capture. It does not seem feasible does it? The base of Arch Rock, a second sea stack that collapsed in 1992, can just be seen. The third sea stack, Mermaid Rock, is hidden behind the promontory.
