When the pilchards came in, the water in this cove shone so brightly that the lookout on the cliff could see the shoal a mile off and cry the boats out. The fish have long gone, but the name stayed.

Today it is the town's favourite beach, with a bathing hut that has been painted a different colour every summer anyone can remember.
