One of my favourite places, beautiful big beach with stunning surroundings. If you are looking for quiet time try late afternoon even in hot summer day can be just a few people. There is a big car park £7.50 for all day, unfortunately no option to pay less if you would like to stay one hour or two.
One of my favourite places to go to get some work/life balance.
I love swimming in the sea and always feel safe there.
The beach is really well looked after by the wonderful volunteers who sadly have to litter pick after a sunny day.
Thats the only downside is those that don't clean up after themsel
A lovely place to go: there is a forest trail and a trail among the dunes if you choose to walk there. A clean beach where the shoreline is not too far and with lifeguards onsite. The only downside: the £7.50 fixed parking fee.
Fabulous Wheelchair access to the beach using the boardwalk. The path to the boardwalk is firm and safe. You would need a beach wheelchair at the end to access the sand or you can just sit and enjoy the view!
Great place for a walk with the dog, picnic or sun bathing (on a less windy day). Car parking for non members is £7.50 all day, but free for National Trust Members. Would recommend getting here before 12pm if you want a car parking space.
Only toilets at this end are portaloos.
Parked here by mistake as I shouldve driven just over a mile further on to the Victoria Rd National Trust for the Red Squirrels.
Machine was only accepting coins but luckily I could pay the fee by card at the NT Tent opposite.
It was a good half an hour walk away via the beach.
Going to be honest, I
Excellent place away from the busy Victoria road car park. Excellent walks in dunes, open grass lands and forests. Lacks any toilets so becareful. Also, car park isn't the biggest so gets very busy on popular sunny days in the summer. Great as a NT member however as its free!
Overcast here today but such a great beach and woodlands. Great for walking the dog and relaxing. Loads of parking as the weather is not perfect.
Lovely beach but really need some toilets on path or in car park.
Good place to park when having a walk in the area although if you are not a National trust member it currently costs £7. There are toilets but due to location they are portaloos so not the most inviting loos, better than nothing. No café or coffee hut in the vicinity so take a flask. Apparently it g
Lovely place. Parking on site about £7 per day sometimes payable by card.
Lovely beaches and friendly staff as well great for dog walks and relaxing.
Wow what can I say about this place it has to be the best place I have ever visited to see and feed wild red squirrels......
Also they have a wonderful beach Golden Sands lots of sand dunes breathtaking and beautiful walks in the woods
Fantastic unspoilt beach and dunes and so clean and pretty. Great boardwalk access too! Well done National trust! We come up from the midlands and the grandchildren come down from the north for a great traditional family day out at the seaside
with very little to spend money on!! 😀👏👍
Free (I've never seen any signs or machines). Big. Great location. What more could you ask for from a car park?!
Hot and sunny Sunday so as expected, very busy. We found a parking place near the ticket machine - it worked well and read the QR code quickly. Well organised and Rangers patrolling which was reassuring. Great day out and our Ukrainian family can't wait to go again.
Dog friendly and nice beach easy to park
