Family and dog friendly. Small shelter with picnic tables and benches. Showers seem to only be functioning during summer season (I was there in October 2023 and they were nonfunctional). Public restrooms with running water. Clear cool water, about 1km parallel swim depending on how far down the coast you go.
Location
Getting there
Public parking very close to the beach itself.
Accessibility
Easy access to the water from the shelter just in front of the beach. I swam during a falling tide.

Plan your swim
Before you go
- Check tide times before entering. Incoming tides can cut off escape routes.
- Watch for rip currents, especially near groynes and headlands
- Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing.
- Always swim with others or tell someone your plan
- A tow float makes you visible to boats and other water users

Frequently asked questions
Is this beach safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.
When is the best time to swim here?
Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.
What should I bring?
A tow float for visibility, warm layers for after, and footwear for rocky entries. In colder months, consider a wetsuit, gloves, and a swim cap.
