The camping is okay. But come on guys! Clean the beach!!! I spend 2 hours cleaning around. take your rubbish with you
 
    Found a good sheltered spot beside a big shrub and dunes covered in shrubs... still too windy to put up the caravan awning.
Out of the three along this section this was my least favorite. To open, no privacy from other campers. Seemed popular, there is a long drop I think. Has access down onto beach. Drive by no stop at this one.
Always a favourite little spot for coastal camping. A good toilet, emergency water if you run out, and more than affordable. Just remember the sunscreen because there isn't a lot of shade to be had.
