Site of Special Scientific Interest


Jennycliff Bay forms part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) known as Plymouth Sound, Shores and Cliffs. It is a Designated Site within the "Jennycliff to Bovisand" management unit and said to be in favourable condition.[1][2]


County Wildlife Site


Jennycliff Bay is also designated a County Wildlife Site (CWS).[3] This is primarily because it contains four Nationally Scarce species:[3][4]

The Site Management Statement for Jennycliff CWS reports sightings of "Devon notable species" including ivy broomrape, dotted sedge, distant sedge, sea rocket and sea spleenwort.[4] Further, the spider Episinus maculipes has been observed.[4]

The cliff face is inclined and the shore is composed of steep broken bedrock and boulders of various sizes.[2]
