I went here for my 50th birthday. It was stunning and very very special. White sand, blue sea, and freezing cold (it was January!). A must-visit part of the UK.

What an absolutely lovely beach. With its white sand and blue sea. At the far end there are also huge rocks and some caves to play in. It’s perfect for children and also ‘big kids’ like me!
