Really nice quiet spot overlooking the water. Tiny little beach and rocks on either side. Great expanse of well maintained grass to sit on and have a picnic. A couple of park benches too and some swings. A little bit of parking. No toilets.

Amazing views, for summer months however make sure you take some shades coz there aren't many trees around for a picnic with little kids. But the beach is nice
