User reviews
"I first brought my children, aged 2 and 4, to this stunning beach many years ago. Now, they are in their 50s and still bring their own children, my grandchildren, every year. We all love it here and have never missed a year since our first visit. Be sure to visit the Merrymore pub, Betty's, the surf shop, and the new wine bar. 5 stars just doesn't do it justice."
Nolan Thorne
"The beach is beautiful with excellent surfing and bodyboarding opportunities. There is plenty of space, caves, and a river for children to enjoy. The tide comes in quite far, and the water is crystal clear. The RNLI lifeguards are on duty to ensure everyone's safety."
