The beach, accessed by a coastal path, is uncrowded and free of noisy jet skis and speedboats.
It's also pristine due to Patrick's zest for beach clean-ups. He ropes in owners, staff and local schoolchildren and has even invested in a machine to sift out microplastics.
But that's why Phil Mitchell, 56, who first visited Mother's Ivy four years ago in a touring caravan with his wife Jane, 59, loves it.
Seduced by the breathtaking views, they bought a holiday home in a prime spot, on the front row with uninterrupted views.
'We love the fact it's so quiet. There are no noisy attractions,' says Phil. 'Even our dog Stanley loves the peace and Patrick keeps it pristine.'
