    Nice spot, not the most private as it’s next to the road, across from a busy cafe and surrounded by houses, but it feels very safe and the cafe is nice! Live music was fun

    Nice and safe spot! Has a very nice café/Bar (Montys) right across the street where you can have excellent coffee and scones! You can charge your things and has wifi. Two toilets which are okay, 1 cold outdoor shower. Directly at the beach so it can get windy at night but nothing too bad. There aren’t that many spaces, only the right sight of the parking is for camping so it be best if you arrive before 5pm. Sometimes you‘re lucky and still get a spot after 5pm, really depends on the day.

    Nice and safe spot just by the beach, perfect for a morning swim! There are 6 parking spots, so not very spacious, but for the two of us and our sleepervan it was perfect. There is a little park next to the parking, with an outdoor bbq which you can use. Toilets are fine, there is also a cold shower for rinsing off. The cafe across the street is nice as well!!

    Attention: The spot is NOT large enough for Campervans or Large Campers. Its a normal parking lot for normal cars. I think even for Jucy Campers it would be hard to fit in there.

    Beautiful spot! Sleeps 6, toilets, showers, and a barbecue. Drinking water and a superb sea view. The bar across the street is great for a drink and Wi-Fi!

    Nice place to stay. It was just us all night and was quiet the whole time. Felt safe and had CCTV and lights on. The toilets are very close and pretty clean. I felt safe using them at 2am. Beach is very close and there is a beach shower for a rinse down. The public BBQ didn’t work but we enjoyed eating our dinner at the picnic table, listening to the sounds of the waves.

    This spot is ok. A bit close to the road, but at least there are 6 places available (we were only 3 vans at the end of November) and the beach is 20 meters away. There are also toilets and a cold shower. Plus there's a nice little café/restaurant just across the road.

    Loved staying here! Spent two nights and both nights there was only one other van! Not a lot around as far as shops go but didn’t bother us! Right on the beach, gorgeous sunset + sunrise, security camera is very reassuring and toilets that were cleaned both mornings. Security officers arrived and at first seemed quite intimidating but said there were just there to photograph vehicles as evidence of who was staying there incase anything was to go missing i.e there in vehicle owners best interest so was all good!
