Ignore any mentions of swimming. There are signs saying no swimming and it isn't even deep so good luck. It was never about swimming 30 years ago as a kid either. Always a place you could fish for crabs, which you still can do. Seems you can still find dead sharks wash up here too, some things never change.

I have never seen a tidal pool. I felt very excited and happy to see a wall built on sea shore and by reading comments, I assumed I could swim there. But, there is a warning board which says it's a boating pool and NO SWIMMING. Water is very dirty and I don't think it's meant for swimming anymore. Area was calm and peaceful. Have never seen such a beach.

As I mentioned before - dead sharks.

A walled-off area of the sea which makes it a bit safer for swimming - especially as the Lido is abandoned. The surrounding wall gets a bit submerged when the tide is in.

It was really relaxing to walk around as you got a 360° view of the beach. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I will certainly be coming back. I definitely recommend going there. When you come make sure you don't leave any rubbish and you look after the beautiful beaches.
