User reviews
"This beach is perfect for sunbathing as it's less crowded than both Bexhill West and East. It's also a great spot for swimming, but it's important to check the water website beforehand to ensure there haven't been any waste releases. The views of Hastings and Eastbourne are stunning, and there's a lovely cafe nearby which is a great bonus."
