This has to be possibly one of the best beaches I have ever seen. Shame about the holiday park! I picked this place, Haven Holiday Park, as I thought it would be something different. Also as it was Donald’s birthday, we had 3 nights here where we didn’t have to move.
The Campsie was a bit run down, our pitch was between the bins and a playground and the beach about a mile walk away. Not a great start.
The tide was out when we eventually got to the beach and it was stunning. By morning the beach had completely disappeared under the sea
Having a couple of days to rest we took the bikes into the town, not a great place to cycle as there are no cycle paths and it’s very hilly. We did manage to buy a very nice piece of Fillet Steak from the local butcher which we ate for Donald’s birthday meal. We spent the day on the beach, Donald even went for a dip, although it was very choppy with big waves breaking into the beach.
The next day we abandoned the bikes and walked into town for a cream tea. By the afternoon the tide had gone out so we walked back up the beach and investigated the caves.
The weather had started to turn and our last night here we had 40mph winds and it was forecast to get worse. We were a bit exposed on our pitch so decided to head inland for the remainder of our trip.
Although the beach was fantastic we wouldn’t stay here again. There is a campsite in town that we would try as it’s nearer the beach but the holiday park, although cheap, is not for us.
