The Sunlovers Slab is an isolated, leaning boulder perched next to the sea. The rock is solid, and the climbs feature steep starts followed immediately by delicate slab climbing above. The slab, as its name suggests, gets plenty of sun and is next to the sea and convenient for a dip. Guidebook page 244.
