Beaches

A lovely sandy beach and a beautiful drive to get there. Park in the field up the hill and it’s about a 15 minute walk to the beach. Not suitable for pushchairs. There is a lovely old school house cafe at the car park. Parking fee sometimes applies. About 30 minutes from the house.

Walk round the corner to this little cafe. Perfect for breakfast. Very reasonably priced. We love to treat ourselves to breakfast here after a morning run (or swim if you’re feeling brave!). Walk down onto The Quay. When you get to the slipway, turn and walk towards the dinghy compound. You will see a little pathway to the right. This is the coast path. Follow it round the perimeter of the boatyard and when you get to the entrance, walk into the boatyard. The cafe is in there. They are very friendly and on a sunny day you can sit on the sun terrace for lovely views across the water.
