A sack barrow is the best way to get your kit to the end of the harbour wall!
Once there it is a relatively easy scramble to get in (by St Abbs standards).
You can see Cathedral rock at low tide, that's the best way to find it.
A great swim through interesting gullies to get there.
It's a great swim through arch with plenty of plumose anemones.
