Great wee spot.
Situated about 35mins walk from bars and restaurants, nice walk along the coast. No public toilet.

Rather noisy - situated about 50 metres off a busy expressway.
A nice grassy area and shady trees, if you are feeling energetic tackle the 9km walking/cycling track that loops round the estuary.

Arrived to find a homeless man with his dog set up (?permanently) there alongside his shopping trolley and lots of bags.
No other cars or campers. No facilities. Right at the side of a busy road but the car park is secluded in the bushes. Immediately left - no chance of staying there a second longer
