It faces roughly south towards the English Channel, it is 250m in length and is straight. The name is thought to have come from one of the many names for the Devil.The beach which is made up mostly of shingle cannot be reached any other way than by boat, as there is no access from the top of the cliff.[1] A small cave is located at the east end of the bay, near Sun Corner.
