Rocken End * 🐾

Rock & shingle, no sand — time and height interpolated between neighbouring real tide stations, approximate, for casual planning only.

🏖️ No facilities — the Island's southernmost point. Strong tidal races off St Catherine's Point are a well-documented maritime hazard; not a recommended swimming spot regardless of tide state.

🐾 No seasonal exclusion found in the Council's current list — dogs generally welcome year-round, but always check on-the-day signage.

🅿️ Nearest parking: Blackgang Viewpoint car park — Free - the same car park used to reach Blackgang.
