What visitors say

A good, spacious car park with decent pricing. You can use JustPark to pay for parking here, the code being 77820. National Trust members can park for free. Signal is very sketchy, so you may need to connect to the WiFi in the nearby beach cafe to pay for parking.

A beautiful cove. Nice big car park next to it, cafe, lifeguarded and surf school ( not that we tried). Looked a great spot to learn. Sandy beach with nice freshwater stream running into it that was lots of fun for the little ones (and dogs). Dogs allowed from 1 September. Coastal path over the hill to next beach about half a mile ( if you don’t mind a climb).
