This was absolutely one of our fav beaches and its beautiful with good facilities however the stench of sewage (which apparently comes from the seaweed) the last few times we've been has completely ruined it.

Good sandy beach which is covered at high tide - check before you go!Basic but very clean public toilets.Bay inspector and lifeguards.Free parking on the road.Quieter than the more popular bays.Good kiosk selling teas, coffees & ices plus lovely homemade bread pudding.Larger cafe a few minutes further up the prom serving cooked meals. Didn't visit there so can't comment.The Swan pub with beer garden on opposite side of the road.

Great place to park right on the sea front without ticket machines and traffic wardens . Jet ski cafe next door . A few campervans there feels like a community . Just waiting for the council to get wind off it and put the mockers on it with a parking camera like they did at west brook !

Easily my favourite spot along this part of the coastline! Concrete brutalist vibes mixed with the natural walls and other human influence it’s a diverse area. A shame about the unexpected dead end, but some fantastic sunsets can be witnessed here

I visited here in October 2022. It is easy to reach this area by train from London and it is a nice area to explore on the Viking Trail.

Lovely and clean, wheelchair accessible with beach wheelchair available, toilets, littke beach shop for icecream, buckets and spades etc and the West Bay Cafe serves lovely food, good value for money and they have vegan and gluten free options available. Sandy beach, great for building sand castles and shallow sea, great for paddling and for children. Life guards on duty, swimming safe between the red and yellow flags, outside of those there are rocks on the seabed. No dogs allowed on the beach between 10am and 6pm.
