This beach is just down the road from us, so go there often with the kids. Superb beach, lots of facilities, life guards (who are super friendly). Highly recommended

A real hidden gem with unspoilt sand, rocks at either end of the 1km long beach, free parking, easy access, toilets and cafe. A great place to go at any time of year. Good for photos.

Great little beach hidden away. Has free parking, toilets and a nice little cafe (great coffee). There are active life guards on duty so a great place for a dip - But observe the flags. I would say that the approaching narrow road to the beach and tight corners in the car park would make it tricky for all but the most experienced drivers if in a larger motor home (your six berth 8 Mtr jobs) imo.

Such a beautiful beach , stunning scenery, beautiful beach huts, car park, cafe and surf shop, toilets, everything you could need right there on the beach. Parking was an issue so ended up on the side of a road nearly a mile away.
