lovely beach, cleaned regularly
smashing little cove, usually clear sea
There is a run off from nearby fields after it has rained.
the beach is also known to have weaver fish

Excellent cafe. public toilets
On the beach there is water sports hire
Nice but relatively pricey restaurant with tremendous views over the beach

lovely walks along the hills either side of the cove

a terrific spot
