I've been coming to this beach since I was a child, and it's always been a favorite of mine. The sand is a beautiful golden color, and the water is clear and refreshing.

The beach is absolutely gorgeous with a breathtaking hike up the hill to the neighboring beach that offers a stunning 360-degree view. Additionally, the sand is a beautiful golden color. However, the waves weren't suitable for surfing during my visit.

For a mere pound, you can park your car at the Lay-by and enjoy the stunning beach. Be sure to check the tide times, as this beach is at its best when the tide is out. With its vast expanse of sand and small cliffs to the left, the crystal-clear water is a sight to behold. Take a stroll along the cliff path to the right, leading to the headland, where you can explore the ancient tomb. The cliff path itself is breathtaking and definitely worth the walk. It's no wonder this beach is a favorite among surfers, thanks to the incredible waves that can be found in the right conditions.
