A favoured place for rock climbers, Three Cliffs is a remote, difficult to access bay, ideal for the serious enthusiast, or competent trekker rather than those with young children or the infirm. The easier route to the beach follows the footpath from the car park at Southgate or the harder route starts from Parkmill and through the woods following the signs to the beach.

The beach takes its name from the three picturesque pointed cliffs that jut into the bay, complete with a fully formed natural archway. Dividing the bay is the snake-like Pennard Pill and nearby sand dunes.

Warning: Do not bathe at Three Cliffs or nearby Pobbles Bay as they are susceptible to extremely dangerous rip tides and estuarine 'freshes' with the Pennard Pill entering the Bristol Channel here.
