The Local Area

Local beach

Take a stroll through the golf course turn right along the stream and to the beach where at low tide you can collect shell, seaglass and drift wood and let the dog roam around free

 

Check the tide. Usually about 2 hours before low tide is a good time to walk to the town along the beach
