Also known as Par Sands it is a wide, shallow, sandy beach with dunes which are, unusually for this Country,  growing rather than eroding away. The dunes back on to a Local Nature Reserve with its own Bird Lake.


It is a well known beach for families, dog walking, bird watching and kite surfing. If you would like to know more about our group and our aims, click on the Read More button below.


Thank you for your interest.


We are a friendly bunch of like minded inclusive volunteers with a common interest in actively looking after our beach and having fun along the way. Your contribution, whatever level of mobility, will be invaluable in helping to preserve the beach for generations to come for all who visit and enjoy the beach and its facilities. You do not have to be a member to join in our Work Parties and we welcome all who want to contribute. For more information, read on and perhaps visit our Facebook page as well?


For a small subscription fee you can join in our social activities held throughout most of the year and enjoy all the healthy benefits of belonging to an active social group.


Come join us. We very much look forward to seeing you.
