Lovely place to go on a nice day, has play areas for the kids and the beach is well kept. There's some nice eating places in town, approx 500m walk from the beach.

I noticed the circular island on my drive back down and decided to pull over to take a better look. The pictures don't do it justice; it's a really beautiful coastline and the island looks significantly larger in person. It's definitely worth making a detour for.

A lovely place to walk on the beach and relax. Fairly quiet and plenty of parking as well as toilet facilities. The water is lovely so a swim would be a real pleasure.
