Nestled in the northern region, this beach is truly a gem. Its pristine shores are a sight to behold, and the parking fees are quite reasonable. We spent a delightful few hours here, paying only £1.60 for two hours or £5.00 for the entire day. The beach is conveniently located next to the car park, boasting soft sand that's perfect for lounging. There's also a fun fair on the beach, providing endless entertainment for the kids.
