Lovely little sandy beach you can sit on when the tide is out. There's a pub and snack snack during the day to keep you going.

[Joseph Jesson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115665803509774771409/reviews) ★★★★★

Good place to take kids or dogs. Nice, calm sea for swimming or kayaking. Somewhat impressive waves at high tide. Great views over the bay, and only a short walk up to the Coastal path.
