The pier is closed at the moment, but the beach is beautiful. As you walk towards the waterfront bar and restaurant, you'll notice fewer stones on the beach. It can get crowded, so it's recommended to visit about 2 hours after high tide.
The pebbly beach is really nice. This section of the beach is open to dogs all year round. It's not crowded at all. There's a café nearby. It's a good idea to bring some shoes because the pebbles can be painful to walk on.
