Great spot!
We had a lovely holiday at this beautiful beach! It was awesome having kayaks for the 3 of us to use, and also the dinghy to go out fishing in. The house was a comfortable place to laze around in during bad weather, but it was great to be able to look out at the beach and sea views. It was then easy to be able to go out when the weather was good. Thanks Clive!
