Theres a large car park next to the beach. Its free. It gets very busy. Cafe nearby too, again, gets stupidly busy. Toilets. Dogs allowed on the beach, children too. The beach is stoney and full of pebbles. No sand castles available here I'm afraid!

Long shingle beach, adjacent to river/ wetland and forest. Loads of wildlife on offer. Very quiet when we visited too.

One of the best beach & sea view with open seating in natural green space. The beach and surrounding heath provide ample opportunities for outdoor activities. Whether you’re interested in a leisurely walk, a picnic, or exploring the interactive family trails, there’s something for everyone. The beach is also dog-friendly, allowing your furry friends to join in the fun. There is a cafe named coast-guard tea room with ample sitting area & parking, which is managed very well by National trust.
