Lovely stay here in late Jan. The spot is right on the beach, free and close to two toilet blocks and a water fountain. Also a two minute walk to big Tesco so plenty of amenities. One of the nicest spots we’ve stayed in!

Free after 6pm but max 4 hour stay in the day which is now £8 cash or phone. Bays estate car size so not suitable for v large vehicles and locals are really not happy about those taking up 3 bays parking lengthways (though possible up the road by the toilet end). Great spot so let's behave responsibly to keep it.

Lovely spot right on beach front. Lovely lady from houses behind even asked if I’d like to join her and friend for a swim.

Lovely park up with excellent views. Nice little town. Did hear a local mention people in vans emptying buckets onto the street - please don't do this as it may jeopardise the future of this spot.

Lovely park up. Free from 6pm till 9am. Yes, you have to pay during the day and max 4 hours, but ..not saying do this by any means…pay for 4 on app, pay for an hour at machine, then pay another 4 on app. Yes, sneaky I know, but it works. We’ve been here a couple of nights, bought food, been to Tesco’s, brecky at pebbles and had an Indian from monsoon. Absolutely love this quaint seaside town.

Great spot. Free parking after 6pm and stayovers allowed. We stayed at the start of the road as closer to the public toilets and it was very quiet all night and still quiet at 9am. Frydays fish n chips were good highly recommended. Short walk to Tescos Great views nice walk either way. Tramline close also. Parking charges 9am till 6pm £3 for 3 hours Can't ask fir more really

Easy to find, many spaces despite having been there at the peak of the season early August. Fantastic views on the beach and cliffs as well as easy access to the town's restaurants and a large tesco nearby. The women's public toilets were closed overnight, only men's were accessible for some unknown reason. It was relatively quiet with the occasional car driving by. Would recommend.

Geweldig uitzicht zowel links als rechts als rechtuit! Heerlijke rustige plek om te overnachten. Tot 9 uur s morgens vrij van kosten en als je een beetje langzaam wilt opstarten kan dat heel eenvoudig door even via app wat parkeertijd te kopen… zoals wij, € 3 voor 3 uur…

we had a great experience here, its a reasonably busy park up by locals (friday night) and 5 or so other campers here, all along the road. Paid for 3 hours parking before 6pm (cost £3, max stay with paid parking is 4hrs). We ate lovely fish and chips in town. Be respectful and we can keep using this beautiful spot. If you don't mind noisy seagulls then it's a great stopover for the night.

Will someone take this down from here the locals are not happy 20+ vans here now it’s absolutely not on, people using the local business’ toilets without buying anything, piss being tipped down the drains. This has to stop or it will get banned here too. No wonder there’s nowhere you can go now without getting hassle ffs

Nice place along the road BUT, place are for car size. Still lot of CC parked but they are much too big and are or partly on the road or on the walking path / which is not very respectful. Will not last long before a No overnight if everybody keep on parking that way.

Good spot apart from lack of nearby toilets

paid for 2 hours parking 4 -6 pm then stayed the night. Lovely peaceful night please ensure your gray waste doesn't leak over the road like our neighbors did when they left , bins quite full and gulls trying to empty them

Superbe endroit pour passer la nuit. Si votre motorhome fait plus 5,50m les emplacements seront trop court. C’est pour cette raison que nous avons choisi les places de parking sur la partie ouest de la plage car elles sont plus grande. Endroit très calme y compris le vendredi soir. Les toilettes sont assez loin!

Amazing place to stay. Free from 6pm. Loads of space. We stayed at the end by the yacht club which was dog friendly and great for her. Toilets not that close but in town :) loads of food places and a Tesco. Gorgeous view in the morning. Few fisherman and dog walkers in the evening and morning but generally nice and quiet. Few other campers. You have to pay again at 9am if you stay on past then.

Stayed last night. Very quiet with sea view as is right by sea wall and beach. Free parking 6pm to 9am and overnight stay allowed. Bins available and toilets open in evening further down sea wall by roundabout. Council is progressive in allowing overnight stays, realising it brings trade into the town - we bought fish and chips from excellent chip shop and bought from Tesco (3 minute walk).

Parking along the sea. Lovely and quiet in the night. What more can you ask for! Would stop off again

MarcoSteptoe

Nice place, but not ideal having to move during the day to avoid paying. We found a quiet street leading to a small industrial estate near the front and stayed their instead. Nice walks east and west along the beach. Typical seaside town.........nothing wrong with that!

Stayed overnight from 14th-15th April 2022. No issues. very good location. Quiet, right on the beach with shops and pubs nearby. Plenty of spaces for vans. Caravans would struggle due to orientation of spaces.

Free stop next to sea wall and then beach. Quiet and felt safe. Great stop.

Had a great stay. Lovely promenade and view to wake up to. Very open to the elements as on the seafront, so if forecast is bad will feel it full-force.

We overnighted here. Free day and night during the winter. Parked lengthways as we were quite long and moved on early in the morning. Very empty come evening.

bit windy but did really bother us like a cradle but only for a short while. Nice free overnight stay nice sunrise in morning looking over the pebbled beach. plenty food plus pubs in the area.only down fall whilst walking my dog. when someone came (I suspect local the way the dog knew the beach) let his dog do his business and left lt there. otherthan that I will be back

lovely view to wake up to, quiet at night and no problems parking, fee other campers around. we stayed two nights and parked across three bays for the best view out of our side door. quick walk to public toilets, Tesco and cafes and pubs. really lovely place to stay

Toilets open (November) numerous rubbish bins and free (unrestricted) sea front parking. Parked lengthways (3 bays) no problem. Plenty of spaces (midweek). Slight camber from road towards pavement. 3/4G. Responsible grey water discharge possible. Wonderful views. 5 mins walk to town centre, shops, cafes, restaurants, bars etc. Very quiet overnight. Slight traffic daylight hours. Thank you Seaton!

On 5/8/21. Parked after 6pm and left before 9am as our motorhome took up two bays diagonally. No noise overnight. Great views across bay.

Decent spot. Stayed overnight. Fab to be so close to the beach and slightly protected from the wind by the sea wall.

Excellent place to stay for the night. We got there about 22.30 woke up in the morning fantastic views. Went for a walk along the beach locals very friendly. Recommend

Loved it here, very quaint.. had a peaceful night sleep although under a street lamp! Gorgeous views in the morning and there's a toilet and outdoor shower on the beach a little further down.

Nice spot overlooking water, close for beach walks. Spots are diagonal, length of an estate car. My van is a XL wheel base Iveco daily, I had to manoeuvre to be slightly overhanging the path way (but still passable). The roads quite wide so seems ok. The regulations on parking is 9am - 6pm paid parking (£1/hr, max 4hr) from Apr - Oct. Tesco around corner too.

Lovely spot, very pleasant. Few other motorhomes around, loads of room (the entire length of the beach parking area). felt safe. Nearby huge Tesco has toilets until midnight.

Parked up overnight along the seafront now worries. Free parking after 8pm, quiet throughout the night, public toilets close by but closed overnight

Functional but noisy and wall blocking view from the van.

Great spot for us, stayed the night in a campervan without any issues. Beautiful and quiet all night on a Sunday evening. Not much open food wise so come prepared.

Lots of other campers on the road, beautiful view. Free parking overnight, no problem. Even locals are used to campers staying here :)

Such beautiful views. Locals living opposite were very happy to come out and chat, accepting of us staying. But we did also have a little interference with racers coming at midnight revving their engines and laughing but otherwise was great. Free parking after 6 and no ‘no overnight’ signs. Quiet beach, lots of people fishing until 11pm. Great Indian Ragine with a very good vegan menu. Lovely museum with nice cafe 2 mins down the road and public toilets outside.

Only small campervans which fit in the bay. Otherwise you stick out into the road.

Stayed here on the 28th of October 2020. Lovely views and beautiful beach. Only one issue and that’s it seems to attract the boy racers who find it funny to make as much noise as possible. After about 10.30pm it all gets quiet again. I don’t think I would like to be here over the weekend when people are around a lot later than in the week.

Lovely spot to park up for dinner. Parked up right by the water, great toilets nearby. Sat out for sunset and moved on to a nearby lay-by for the night. Although signs don’t say anything about overnight parking, we paid by the app which said there was a maximum of 4 hours. Could be fine but didn’t want to risk it!
