We had an amazing time with our kids. The beach was pristine, with crystal clear water and no tide. There were plenty of activities and eateries for the kids to enjoy.

Appley Beach
10 Haley O'Connell

The beach is absolutely stunning, and when we went on a Friday, there weren't many people around, creating a peaceful atmosphere for a sunlit stroll. It's well-maintained, boasting a charming shoreline, a tower, and a cafe at the far end. The car park is convenient, albeit slightly pricier compared to other places I've been to, and a few of the machines were out of order. Nevertheless, all in all, it's definitely worth paying a visit!

This beach is an amazing destination that my family and I thoroughly enjoyed. We spent our time fishing and cockling, and even my 6-year-old daughter was able to catch an eel. We decided to camp out overnight in our motorhome and it was a wonderful experience. Additionally, there is a bird sanctuary located right across from the beach that we absolutely loved. Overall, this beach is a fantastic location that offers a variety of activities for all ages to enjoy.
