The beach extends along the length of the town, providing a broad sandy promenade at low tide. Extensive grassy reserves and a wonderful children's playground for all ages border the beach. A beautiful long sandy beach, offering safe family swimming (Lifeguard patrolled) and a fantastic setting for relaxing walks.
