8 Very good

Great place to visit the beach is very well maintained with garbage bins every 50 ft. Not forgetting the sand racker. There is also a public toilet available . Last but not least, the ice cream van.

Only The truth (Only the truth)

6 Pleasant

Although it’s a lovely beach and lovely sand. There are a lot of rude, foul mouthed teenagers that ruined the beach with bottles and rubbish. We were so disgusted by the view of the beach after they had been and gone. Police had to check all of the kids belonging when coming off the trains. I think the beach would have been a lovely experience without the kids littering everywhere! Dispute the bad points, we still enjoyed the beach! Lovely view and calming early hours of the morning. Avoided the night as kids basically took the beach over.

4 Frustrating

The word grim comes to mind. Not for me, busy and quite industrial looking surrounds. Tide was in so not alot of wide, open space for all the dogs. Lots of wheelie bins on the beach which is good but also kind of disgusting as alot were overflowing. Toilets on site didn't have working lights in all cubicles and was pitch dark in the one I went in to, no toilet paper either. It was 2nd Jan so probably why it was so busy but no, I won't visit again. Wished I had just went to Troon beach which is much better space wise and nicer surrounds.
