Nice fun performance waves with a lovely surf school right on the beach front called kingsurf surf school (www.kingsurf.co.uk)
Atmosphere:
Rocked up here a few weeks ago and was given a warm welcome by surfers that work at the surf school there ( kingsurf ) Didn't score it epic but enjoyed a few pints in the local pub afterwards with the surf instructors. If you need to leave your keys anywhere the boys at kingsurf will look after them for you.
Additional Info:
Park in the car park at the top of the beach next to kingsurf surf school. The surf will be bigger than it looks cos it is a long way away.Gets rippy and backwashy when big.
