4 miles of flat soft sand bar, no rocks, enough space to launch and land the kite. Watch out for the cliff and harbor that are downwind in a SW. Set up on the main (big) beach. There is a smaller beach near the harbor, separated by a rocky outcrop - this is your emergency landing if it all goes wrong.

06-03-26 Tim: This is my local beach so I spend a lot of time here. Set up on the main (big) beach. There is a smaller beach near the harbour, seperated by a rocky outcrop - this is your emergency landing if it all goes wrong. Prevailing wind is SW. Beach faces S looking over to Edinburgh. Tidal range is quite big at 6m on springs.
