What a beautiful beach with nice views. It was recommended to us by a local Airbnb host and we enjoyed in the view. Its clean and no rubbish around anywhere. When the tide is low, the rocks looked really nice.

Fabulously empty beach in early March allowing for nice leisurely dog walks. The ocean was really pounding on the beach and there were some beautiful big waves crashing onto the cliffs at either end. Plenty of parking spaces & I believe you can stay overnight for free. Given that the car park overlooks the beach and the ocean - I can imagine this would be a pretty special place to park up. Thumbs up from dogs and humans alike

Beautiful beach with amazing views allround apart from sunsets this is the only thing you wont be able to spot from the beach. Otherwise there is a couple of bars one restaurant, you can also get pasties and ice cream, some surfing equipment. Big downside is lack of decent toilets as the portaloos are disgusting. Car park £12 for 24hours Would still recommend it as it is lovely beach.

Lovely clean beach with some stunning views. Dog friendly and even though it’s now the start of the season, it was very calm and quiet on a lovely Sunday afternoon. Perfect for a picnic or some bodyboarding. Local shops nearby with lots of beach supplies and food. Parking was a bit of a nightmare but that’s part of the fun, I suppose.
