PLAN YOUR WALK

Walking here with your dog

Shore and setting
The beach continues eastwards, but the tide can cut off that route; do not plan a return solely along the sand. [1]
Facilities
The estate lists a beach cafe and toilets near the entrance. Use the signed route to the western dog section rather than crossing the dog-free east end. [2]
