Nice water front walk. As a dog owner it irritated me that we found 20 dog poo less then 15 min walk. A lot of dog owners do not check this dogs a let them poo everywhere. This needs to be changed.

This is more like a small stretch of coastline than a 'beach'. It is pretty stony and quite tricky to get down to... hardly worth the effort to be honest.
