Stunning beach with an island you can walk to during low tide, plus a charming café.

I visited the beach for the first time recently after a friend recommended it. I arrived in the evening just as the sun was setting, and enjoyed a lovely walk with my dogs along the shore. I definitely plan on returning during the warmer months to spend more time there.
