Love this place, alway feels like home. Nice cafe at one end and a semi perminant icerean can at the other. The water always feels a little colder in this beach to me, but still love it here.

Parking can be limited but there's always some nearby if you don't mind a little stroll down...

Probably only the 2nd time I have been here and I have never sat and admired it in its glory. Pebbles,stones and some sand it wasn’t deterring the families enjoying and swimming …floating around looking at speed boats and day trip boats. Nice little cafe too with a good snack menu and then we strolled via Daddyhole back to Torquay which was only 15 to 20 minutes ….wow crazy we haven’t enjoyed it before. We...
