What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the miles of clean, sandy beach and the abundant free parking. The beachfront cafe is praised for good value and service, and the location is considered beautiful and great for kite flying. However, some find dining options limited, and campervan parking can be restricted during busy periods.
"Little cafe on the beach was good value and service was lovely.
The beach itself runs for miles and is a great beach for flying kites. There are lots of water and beach activities and lifeguards too. Nearby you can climb sand dunes. Not many places to eat. But there are lots of blushes to choose from to cool you down on warm days. A burger van to top you up on carbs, and 1 restaurant for a sit down meal. Loads of free parking right on the beach front and easy to navigate.
Loved this beach. Worth a ride out to."
