Superbe spot, beaucoup de places disponibles, en bord de route, mais pour l'instant pas de soucis pour le stationnement de jour comme de nuit, vue sur la mer et accès à la plage. Vous devez payer du 1er juin à septembre et les week-ends après Pâques.

Superb spot, plenty of places available, roadside, but so far no worries for parking day and night, sea views and access to the beach. You need to pay from 1 June to September and weekends after Easter.

Hervorragender Ort, viele Plätze verfügbar, Straßenrand, aber bisher keine Sorgen für das Parken Tag und Nacht, Meerblick und Zugang zum Strand. Sie müssen vom 1. Juni bis September und am Wochenende nach Ostern bezahlen.

    Just to let you know we were ticketed at 1:50am this morning- £35 all campers received a ticket as the signs have been amended to say no parking mid night to 6am - no traffic wardens came during the day but we all got booked over night

    Stayed here for two nights 29th and 30th may with absolutely no problems. The view was gorgeous and perfect walking distance for surfing. Public loos are close by. Watching the sun set over the sea with dinner every night was stunning.

    saw no " no overnight camping" signs. although had been told a man drove from Exeter just to fine cars and vans parked over night. the sea noise is ever present and ever pleasent. amazing views.

  • 5/5

    Way more than 34 spots, we parked up on a Saturday night. Lots of other campers here and no ticket in the morning. Speaking to others it’s fine during the winter but don’t even think about coming here in the summer it’s gridlock. A very quiet night and super view for breakfast.

  • 5/5

    No issues. No overnight signs not on the first few signs so parked opposite the tourist office.) Dec 2021

  • 5/5

    Parked overnight December. No charge, no problems overnight. Fantastic sea view when we woke up. Amazing.

  • 5/5

    Amazing view and no hassle parking. Free in the off seasons. Very busy so arrive early for a good spot!

  • 5/5

    We stayed here overnight and the entire following Sunday, no issues at all, was in November and there was plenty of other campers near. Straight down the steps to get to the beach. Will be staying here again our of season.

  • 5/5

    Amazing view, free if you come out of season! No over night restrictions.

  • 3/5

    Stay during day in Oct it’s free and beautiful. Lots of comments about overnight being ok but there are clear “traffic regulation signs” (all the way along the road) above the written parking information signs which clearly show no parking midnight to 6am. So if you choose to stay you risk a parking fine. (Hope this doesn’t sound authoritarian just to clarify for others).

    Perfect,didn't want to leave.Toilets close, sea for a bath.Quiet through the night. During the day it's £5 for 4 hours to park,pay by Ringo if you prefer. Most vans moved into the carpark which is cheaper for the day until 2000hrs and then move back on the road as per this location.Free parking 2100hrs to 08am.Lots of van lifers.Checked,did not see any restrictions on overnight parking.

  • 4/5

    Great view and location, pizza in the van in the car park was great. Gets busy in the morning but ideal for beach, toilets and shops

  • 5/5

    Great spot with lovely views out to sea. Quite quiet at night. Parking limited to 4hrs no return for 1hr starting from 8am. Free after 9pm and no bother overnight. I trick I'm sure is to use Esplanade carpark next to it. £8 all day 9am - 10pm... Then park here for free overnight.

  • 5/5

    Wonderful spot for the night. Paid £4 for the day and spent all day and night here. saw an amazing sunset and a double rainbow at the same time! It does say that parking between 12pm and 6am is not allowed, but there were at least 30 of us parked up on Saturday night and other campers told us that as long as everyone was respectable the locals don't complain.

  • 4/5

    Decent spot right by the beach, signs say no parking Midnight-6AM however no hassle, just had to wake up and put a ticket in for the day before charges start, spoke to a few regulars that said parking wardens pretty hot in the morning, public toilets pubs and a few shops nearby

    Level and near level parking available. Will be exposed in strong westerly winds. Super views.
