User reviews
"That place is 1.5km long and very wide, with a secure front line and a mix of gray shell sand and small stones. It's the perfect spot for crab pots! There are plenty of beach bars and a wide promenade, as well as several nearby parking lots (except for caravans and motorhomes). It's a very quiet and family-friendly beach, making it a great spot for a relaxing day out."
Aidan Jubilee
"I absolutely adore this beach - it's made of pebbles, making it super easy to keep clean. The water was crystal clear and there's plenty of parking space available, making it incredibly easy to access."
