  • Accessibility: Unsuitable for wheelchairs and buggies

    Due to the loose sand and shingle, the route is unsuitable for wheelchairs, buggies or road bikes.

  • Terrain: Varied surfaces

    The route follows the sandy beach, with areas of loose shingle, and forest tracks. The trail can also be damp through the salt marsh area. Sturdy footwear is advised.

    Relatively level, except short steep shingle ridge of around 2 metres in height.

  • Barriers: Some barriers

    During high Spring Tides the route may be impassable along the beach. The trail requires a short scramble over a steep section of loose shingle (approx 2 metre height) to the dunes. Access to the beach is over a long narrow timber bridge.
