This is the local beach in the village and easy to reach, its not far to walk from the house or you can drive, it has a car park and toilets. It's a popular spot for surfing and nice to watch the sun going down. It's very tidal so not much beach at high tide, but when its low there's a lovely sandy beach with rock pools to explore.
