Our favourite beach spot (shhh please don't tell everyone, as it's a well-kept secret). Dog-friendly beach areas all year round, easy carpark on the beach with a small cafe and public toilets. Best to check tide times and go at low tide for lovely wide sand flats, at high tide it's a less-impressive steep stony shelf!
