The road down to Hive Beach is narrow but straight and has pinchpoints giving priority to exiting traffic. Pedestrians and, occasionally, livestock may be on the road.
A few yards further away is the eastern, gravel-based, carpark. From here, you can walk below the café and up to the Lookout.
Note: if approaching from the west along the beach from Freshwater, a cliff fall on 05 March 2020 at Hive Beach means you may now get cut off at high tide so please check tide times before setting out.
