We loved the boulders going down to the beach. There is a lot of beach between the large boulders and the water. We grabbed an ice cream from spoons and sat on the rocks enjoying the sunshine.

This beach has lots of sand and some interesting tidal basins. Beautiful Atlantic coast setting, especially at sunset.

It was a very warm and calm day when we visited. Maybe this was the reason for little or no waves. That said it was a nice walk along the beach

One of my favourite spots on the West Coast - visited recently for the first time in 10 years and for the first time with two smallies in tow. It’s still class and i am only raging I didn’t prolong my stay.
The beach always seems nicely busy between walkers, swimmers, surfers and kids building sandcastles or playing football. It’s fantastic and really easy to get up/down onto the beach with ramps/steps etc.
Surfing is big business in the town and there was lots of kids taking lessons and even some adults. Later on when the tide came in, the sea was still busy with some more experienced wave hoppers out there trying to get their fix. Fair play to them, they make it look so easy.
There is a big car park next to the beach making it easy to get ready before/after a day at the beach - charges do apply to park there.
There is plenty of cafes,bars, restaurants in the locality too where you can buy anything from a dozen golf balls to a large ice cream cone with sprinkles and a flake. It’s a terrific little town and beach.

Not at all a secluded beach- it's right by a giant car park by the center of town. Upside is it is easy to park and visit both the beach and nearby restaurants or shops. Downside is that it doesn't feel as special as other beaches along the Atlantic Wild Way. But it is quite large so even with all the surfing groups, families, tour buses, and even school groups, there was still room to have your own spot on the sand.

Amazing beach. Long, wide, and flat. Great for families as well as surfers. Great waves.
There were a good few people enjoying the sand and water but the beach is so big it didn't feel crowded

Great refreshing walk. The Atlantic wind will really wake you up along this beach. The tide was in when we were there and the waves on the rocks were just worth looking at.

Lovely beach. It was very busy when we went but it is such a long beach it did not feel overcrowded. There is plenty of parking and clean public toilets.

Can you horse ride on this beach

Yes, I have seen horses being ridden on the beach and you can get down via a ramp, but the beach is not huge (not miles of coastline) but a large bay.
