10 Exceptional

This pebble beach may be small, but it's perfectly adequate for a day out. It's situated at the end of the promenade from the main road, but it's recommended to park further up and walk down. The beach itself is entirely pebbled, and the current can be strong, so it's best to have company. Lifeguards aren't present in the area, so it's important to be cautious. The pier is a great spot for swimming or fishing. At the end of the promenade, you'll find a small playground for children and two cafes/bars where you can relax in the shade and grab a bite to eat or drink.
