Barley Cove Beach forms part of a larger
area designated as
a Special Area of Conservation (S.A.C.) under the European Habitats Directive.
This Directive is designated to ensure the conservation of
Europe's most important ecological areas.
The area qualifies for the S.A.C. status because of the high quality sand dune system,
together with a wide variety of habitats and associated wildlife.
