Our favourite beaches
Gylly beach is super family friendly. It’s sandy, great for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking or lazing in the summer sun.
Perfect for Rockpool-ing, swimming, paddle boarding, sand castle building, kayaking, bbq’s. There’s a life guard in Summer, a cafe and takeaway right in the beach.

The beach here is sheltered, often a little quieter than Gylly beach, great for swimming at high tide. The cafe here does amazing, and rather large tubs of clotted cream ice creams stuffed with different sweets or chocolates.
