There is an award-winning toilet block, Surfboard hire and sauna is available; there is a lovely Beach shop / Café and dogs are welcome all year round, although there is a slight restriction at the very southern end below the Beach shop from April until the end of October.
There is a beach car park overlooking the bay with disabled spaces, however, direct beach access does involve some slopes and / or a few steps
It is a truly a beautiful beach with all the facilities for a great day out.
