A beautiful beach that we somehow managed to not visit despite being in Downings many times before. You can even get access with your 4x4 directly onto the beach and we will create a camping teip there in 2020 for sure. Its a large and very clean beach that has a lovely wild feeling to it. We uploaded the only 360 degree photo there today. We were amazed nobody had already done so. Have a look.
