Surf: Average beachbreak that needs a large swell or stormy conditions to work. Sheltered from SW and OK on W winds. The higher the tide, the larger the swell needs to be before it breaks. Environment: Sometimes crowded, particularly at weekends. Fairly quiet beach with a pleasant setting. Parking not usually a problem, except peak summer months and weekends. Facilities include showers, lifeguard and nearby camping. Some pollution, mainly from the rivermouth.
