What visitors say
Love the views and the bunnies, not the litter. The derelict children’s playground equipment is a sad sight. Lovely for walks with or without dogs.

August '17 Very handy car park with very reasonable charges up to 4pm. Good facilities including loos & snack/gift bar. Lovely beach with fantastic views in a beautiful area. Great for walking, exploring the sea shore & rock pools, paddling or boating.

There is a Carpark right at the beach. Trail starts in the right of the carpark. Takes about 2 hours for completion of 7km trail. Trail was a little muddy due to rain. Do wear right shoes for hike. Fairly moderate

Excellent place all my years visiting scotland never realised this was here, what's not to like free parking up to 2 hours, toilets even a burger or food bar if your peckish. It's a great beach, sea is shallow and sandy rather than rocky etc going again on sunday.
