Fantastic beach if you love looking for fossils and drift wood. Beautiful views over the estuary. Lovely and clean. There are toilets and a lovely cafe, which has teas, coffee's ice creams, and lovely range of sandwiches and snacks the staff are also lovely with nice banter between them. There are tide times available, plenty of litter bins around the ample carpark and some disabled parking.

Beautiful scenery and fossils all over. Had to pay a parking fee (only a few £ as on motorcycles) but was completely worth it.

found some ammonite but didn’t explore the beach too thoroughly as the tides were high. windy, and great for a walk to get some sea air. facilities were closed. free parking. winding roads on the way down.

Lovely stretch of beach. Handy cafe too. Rocks can be slippery when crossing to get to the beach though

Had an amazing afternoon here. Walked from car park to Atlantic College. Fortunate that there was a Marie curie cake stand at the lifeguard station to help fuel the walk. Plenty of free parking and toilets available. Highly recommend and the walk to the College was lovely
