My favourite place for sunny day walks. Away from the main carpark its so chilled and peaceful. Obviously gets busy down at the main area but if you are going to sit down and chill just walk up the beach 15 mins and you will have near privacy. So much better at low tide also so check the times of high tide if going for a long walk!
