A more adult spot to visit, but the views are amazing. A nice place for a coffee or cream tea or even a spot of lunch. It is a little higher priced, but is a good compromise for the location.

OK, this one needs to be kept under your hat! A very unique spot where the estuary meets the beach. Often missed by most tourists, but much beloved by locals. There is a toll road which is £2 but then no parking fees, follow the road until you can go no further. We don't tell many people about this, so shhhh!

Not a classic seaside beach as this is technically on the estuary, but it is a great spot for a different beach experience and/or walk. The village is right by the beach with some nice restaurant options. Also hockings ice-cream from the hockings van is an absolute must!

A great unique beach experience, more of a cove than a beach and it is more pebbly. On certain days they do an excellent evening curry on the beach.
