Edit SpotAbout
A very nice spot to put the missus in a cafe (right next to the beach) and have an easy surf; bit short on other options nearby though - it's a long drive to the nearest decent point break. Me and some friends joked that this stretch of coast is like "Cornwall-ifornia" - Cornish topography with Californian vegetation. The geology is similar to north cornwall, with steep valleys and heavily faulted rocks; hence no decent reefs or points, but fine for pocket beaches; the waves types available nearby are thus very similar to north cornwall; but less tide, and warmer water... so not bad at all really!
Atmosphere:
nice beach with an island in the middle at high tide
Additional Info:
park right next to the beach
