Description

This busy and very popular swim spot has everything you need. Long swims the length of the beach (~400m) can be achieved with ease over golden sands at high tide. Low tide is a bit of a walk over a sandbank but doable if you want a short distance, shallow dib. When the weather is good expect it to be rammed throughout. There are many swimmers here daily so if you want company just rock up around high tide.

Getting There

There is plenty parking, charged during the summer. A very busy tourist spot. So expect a short walk from car to beach. There's beach front parking if you are early/lucky. Disabled parking too. Onsite cafe does great food (Sands) sit in or takeaway. Countryside has toilets and there's a cold shower/foot wash.

Accessibility

Sandy beach walk to the sea. Boardwalk from the car park side.
