It's great for just relaxing, playing family games, making sand castles or maybe just flying a kite. Rock pools abound and there are caves just waiting to be explored. The fantastic Atlantic breakers make for magnificent surfing, be it on Malibu or body boards, so there's lots of fun for everyone, all under the watchful eye of the RNLI lifeguards who operate on the beach every day between April and September.
