Awarded a Blue Flag in 2006. The beach has a ridge of pebbles at high tide but the ebb tide reveals extensive clean washed sand. There is easy access for wheelchairs down to the promenade, and there are three sets of toilets.

Seaside gardens with all year round colour hug the cliff tops with plenty of seats and suntraps to snooze away those summer days or read the Sundays. Small cafes dot along the promenade that link the beaches to the town's high street.

There is a lifeboat station at the northern end of the beach, and a promenade that runs all the way to the Beeston Bump. 

In the high season you may think there has been an outbreak of graffiti, there is an annual competition where the young (and young at heart) are invited to compete in a chalk drawing contest. The sea defence walls make a perfect canvas.
