A mile-long beach with a mix of sand and shingle, clear water, and a gently sloping shore. It's a great place for swimming, water sports, and walking. The beach is surrounded by cliffs and green hillsides, and is a popular spot for photographers. A flat walking area that runs alongside the beach, with a cafe at one end and the town at the other.

What a place to sit and make a fresh hot breakfast, to then sit back with a full belly, a hot coffee and watch the sunrise. Wash up pots and cups with sea water, pack it all away, leave nothing but a happy memory.
