Surrounded by limestone cliffs, the bay is pebbly, with some sand.
To the west, the bay is separated from Limeslade Bay by Tutt Hill, the location of a coastguard look-out station.
[1] One of the bay's most notable feature is the iconic "Big Apple" kiosk, a concrete structure built in the 1930s as a roadside advertisement.
After being damaged by a vehicle in 2009, it underwent significant repairs in 2010.
In 2019, it was officially designated a Grade II listed building, recognizing its historical significance.
