At low tide this is a favourite spot for crabbing off the little bridge across the estuary. At high tide the water rushes in and the locals rush down with their stand up paddle boards and kayaks!
Why not take a SUP lesson?

Sightseeing
For a day trip we would recommend visiting St. Michael’s Mount. About an hours drive but once you are there you can either walk across the causeway or catch a ferry depending on the tide, and see if you can find the giant’s heart!
