A great place to swim at high tide in the summer. The sandy beach is a gentle slope and the water temperature is usually bath like in the afternoon.
High tide swimming is a must as the water goes out a long way and becomes too shallow to swim. Clark’s beach takeaway is just around the corner so grab some fabulous fish n chips and relax on the beach for lunch or dinner depending on the tides.
