Walk across the rasied beach to the shore

Continue along the shoreline until you reach the next raised beach

Cut across the raised beach, passing a little cottage, to the far corner where a path leads you through the woodland

Follow path to a distinct bay with a large boulder in the middle.

Continue around the shore until a track heads up to a house.
