Bowleaze cove is well worth the visit. With music, drinks, food, and ice cream, what's not to love. A relaxing day out to just watch the surf, go for a swim or relax reading your book whilst the children build sandcastles. Or take them to the fun amusement park to spend their holiday pennies. Some great spots for kite flying too whether an adult or child. For those water sports lovers out there, you can hire equipment for a fun day out. 😀 This beach is dog friendly too, which is an added bonus if you are out with your dogs. Take your beach shoes or a beach mat to sit on, as the stones can be uncomfortable on sensitive soles. Overall, well worth the visit. There is a fantastic holiday park there too for added fun. Waterside Southshore.
