Literally a 2 min walk from the Beaches Guest House, a great family beach.

If you’re bringing the dog, you can walk him any time on the North Beach.

The furthest beach from the Beaches Guest House but still very much worth the 10 minute drive and visit.  Broadsands is a beautiful long sandy beach in an idyllic rural setting.
