Love this beach, although I can only ever stay in the swimming pool for 5mins at a time. Swimming wears me out!!

amber hopwood
i think the beach has really good benafits for children and adolts in the summer asd it is good because of the pool because it is safer for the children.

Holly
you should have more pictures of the actual pool and not the surroundings



Nigel, Bristol:

A very long and wide (at low tide) sandy beach with a good view of some very treacherous rocks in the distance. These rocks extend for some way around one side of the island and so some locals may have knowledge of several famous shipwrecks here. A good idea to have the swimming pool built as seaweed tends to cover parts of the beach at low tide. A good place for watersports at high tide.
