South Bay is the livelier of the two beaches, being backed by cafes, ice-cream parlours, shops, theatres and all the entertainments and delights that you’d expect from a traditional seaside resort.

Donkey rides are available on the beach. A fine Victorian promenade runs along South Bay, and links this side of the town to North Bay, on the other side of the promontory. The beach is popular with families and sometimes has good surfing conditions. Children will love what’s on offer here, whether it’s building sandcastles, playing in the amusement arcades or splashing about in the waves.

At one end of the bay, the harbour provides mooring for fishing vessels as well as the usual yachts and pleasure boats. Boat trips run from here around the bay or further down the coast.
