A nicely situated flat sandy beach running SW to NE, with a tidal estuary (no sailing in the estuary, only on the beach). Access very good with the car park on the beach.

Sailable at all tide states, can be very good on a SW if a Southerly swell present, waves focus into the corner of the bay and wrap upwind slightly into the estuary mouth and can give very good wave riding along the length of the bay or flat water blasting, suffers from gusty wind due to high ground inland, funnelling effect from the estuary, local amenities very good, nice spot. Good waves and flat water.
