## What visitors say

Katy Urwin ★★★★★

We recently stayed on a touring pitch in our motorhome and can not rate this beautiful place highly enough. The staff were so welcoming when we arrived and the little shop is full of great things for a day on the beach. The site was immaculate and the beach was breathtaking, we walked for miles and cant wait to come back!!

DooM ★★★★★

Charging 6£ to park to get to beach and public parking only 30min some one has good friends with local council so that local council made 30min public parking and if you want to go to beach and enjoy a day in the sun there is a private company that use it to make cash only 6£ and you need to leave by 8pm so no sunsets

Stayed here for two nights at short notice as the weather was too hot for the dogs to be travelling in the camper. Was lovely and peaceful right next to the beach will definitely stay there again 🥰
