The beach had sand and wasn't too crowded. The car park was peaceful, and we used the Ringo app to pay for our parking since the coin slot was out of order. It cost us £4.20 for a four-hour stay.

This charming beach is a classic gem, boasting stunning sands and enchanting rock pools, as well as a refreshing tidal pool. You'll find a convenient pay and display car park and well-maintained public restrooms available. However, if you're seeking a raucous atmosphere with amusement park rides and arcade games, this may not be the place for you. Instead, this tranquil beach is perfect for those seeking a more laid-back, traditional beach experience with plenty of opportunities for sandcastle building and seaside exploration.

During my recent visit to the beach, the weather was not at its best and hence the crowd was relatively low. However, the beach area was as beautiful as ever, with no signs of litter or debris. What caught my attention were the vibrant huts that lined the promenade, adding an element of liveliness and fun to the entire setting. The colorful paint on the huts made for a visually appealing vista, and I couldn't help but admire the creativity that went into their design.
