Beaches
This is one of our favourites! Its a local secret and not accessible by car, so no 'crowds' like Caswell. Very rustic with no cafes, just nature. Dogs can also access the beach throughout the year.

Stunning beach, especially when the tide is out. If you walk around to the right there is a footpath which will take you along the coastal path and back to Brandy Cover, the nearest beach to our house. Dogs are not allowed on Caswell beach in summer months and parking can be difficult if the beach is busy. Bring cash for the carpark and be sure to park in a bay else you may receive a ticket. Refreshments can be purchased from the cafes and there are public toilets.

Our nearest beach. Just a 10 minute walk past the post office and down through the trees. Very quiet and a great place to walk the dog. The terrain is a bit bumpy so not great for scooters / prams. There are no cafes or toilets.
