Wonderful beach but more for walking and views than a sun bathing beach. You are able to take a walk to the life boat and amazing views along the beach. this is one of my favourite beach walks and not too commercial.

Amazing in summer. They have beautiful lights and live music on certain nights. A small museum as well going back to the second world war and the pipeline which was built to send fuel to France.
