Love this place, the sea speaks. Let's me send messages to those I care most about. A beautiful friend introduced me to Baginbun last year Nov 2022. Unfortunately she's mad with me @ the moment but this allows me speak to her and stay connected.

Huge changes. Fantastic easy accessible car park with two portal toilets. There is now a little shop for coffee and ice cream. There is a tap to wash the feet. Also the stony path has been replaced with a gentle incline that you can cycle down and walk with ease. Beach is paradise and safe for swimming and kayaking Short steep stoney incline onto this beach so be careful under foot. Glorious beach no parking as such, just side of road. Fabulous soft sand and perfect for a swim. Little alcoves on the beach to hide from the sun ....perfect for kayaking paddle boards. There is also a tap for cleaning stuff after.

This is a beautiful, sheltered beach. There is a coffee shop, toilets and a shower area. Well worth a visit. Steep enough incline toward the beach though so I wouldn't be taking an elderly person I think.
