👍👍 Awesome beach once you get through the sand dunes, it took us the best part of an hour to get through the dunes from the car park, but we had a real slow 4 Yr old with us, I reckhghon its probably 30 minutes at a decent pace. Beach is huge when tide is out. Car Park was £5 for the day and can pay on...

👍👍 I took my Grandson here on a very cold day. There is plenty of parking, you pay as you leave. There are several routes to follow. We tried to follow the trail that takes you around the lake, but parts of the track weren't passable due to heavy rainfall. We doubled back and took the track that takes...
