Your comments

✎ A great place for family holidays, okay for surfing, great for kite surfing, paddle boards and swimming. There is a tidal sea pool at the rocky end of the beach.
Apart from the pebble ridge at the top, this is a long, flat sandy beach with RNLI lifeguards during the summer months.
The beach is 2 miles long and even at the end with shops, cafes etc, it's never crowded.
No dogs on the main part of the beach 1st May- 30 Sept but all year round in front of Sandymere at the estuary end.
Water quality is mostly excellent but there can be pollution warnings after very heavy rain (very rare in the summer).
