Getting There
If you're hoping to park here, it's best to park a sunrise/early morning/early evening. There are no parking spaces however you can park on the double yellows at the above times when the traffic wardens aren't around. The nearest car park is about a 10 minute walk near the Knap Gardens just as you come under the railway bridge, next to the row of cafes on your right. A larger car park is situated further along this road past the shops, on the seafront. Both are free to park in at time of writing
Accessibility
Watchtower is a pebbly beach whwn the tide is in or high and requires a bit of care getting to the water. At low tide there is a huge expanse of sand stretching over towards Friars Point. Low tide means its some distance to the beach and your almost around the headland before you reach the water.
