The expanse of the beach is immense, with the ebb and flow of the tide a natural occurrence to be expected. If you plan to spend the night on the sandy shores, it's advisable to bring a tent to avoid any pesky little insects that may emerge from the grains. Taking a leisurely stroll along the picturesque coastal path, which spans approximately 2-3 hours, is a delightful way to soak in the beauty of the surroundings. There is a parking area available, as well as a nearby campsite, although the walk there may take around 20-30 minutes if the tide is high.

This location is truly breathtaking. It is the most exquisite beach I have ever laid eyes on, with striking cliffs and an expansive sandy shore that seems to stretch on forever. I can envision its splendor in any climate. It is just a short trek from the National Trust parking, which charges a nominal fee of £3 for two hours.

The beach is absolutely stunning and offers an outstanding location for coastal walks. It is a dog-friendly beach throughout the year. The National Trust car park is conveniently situated near the top corner of Sandy Lane, which leads to the beach. During the summer months, visitors can park their cars in the farmer's field, which brings them closer to the beach. There is also an ice cream van stationed near the entrance of the field, which is perfect for those hot summer days. Once you reach the bottom of the track, there are a few rocks to climb over, but it is not too arduous. Once on the beach, you have a vast area to explore or relax in. The beach is home to numerous rock pools, which are perfect for exploration, and there are also plenty of fossils to discover. Visitors can find a fossil bed approximately three hundred meters to the East, near some steps that lead to the beach. If you continue walking for the same distance, you'll come across some vertical rock faces in the cliffs, which are another great area to explore. However, it is essential to remember that hammering or chiseling of the cliffs is strictly prohibited. Overall, the beach is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fantastic day out.

The beach is truly stunning, adorned with captivating rock formations and an abundance of rock pools. The sand is smooth and stretches for a considerable distance, but the entrance is rocky and pebbly. To reach the beach, you must traverse a field and descend a steep path, culminating in sizeable rocks and a handful of makeshift steps.
