The beach is traditionally regarded at the place where Flemish invaders landed in 1155 (see NPRN 404332). The presence of a limekiln close to this beach confirms a landing place with a track running northwards to the beach (NPRN 40651), with Admiralty Sailing Directions noting '...a small snug nook, a little sandy beach called Traeth mount, which offers a convenient smooth-water landing place with winds to the southward or eastward.'
