Nice beach but only got to see it while it was raining so can't really see much. Loved the size, grant for joggers and there were plenty of them.

Fab buzz in the Summer with people walking the prom and people soaking up the sun when it comes out. Loads of restaurants, pubs, café's & hotels.

Beautiful on a good day, short walk from city centre. Very Quirky public toilets. Such a shame the derelict buildings let the area down
