    I love this place.

    The tide is fascinating to watch going in then out of the beach. The walls at the river mouth create a natural surf pool, you can predict each wave. No reception but you can have it at the FC up the road. Loved walking there from the beach. Beautiful sunset and occasional train passing by and wind mills look interesting. Freedom camp officers very friendly too.

    The park has 2 campervan spots facing the ocean, and signs saying there are 3 allowed away from the ocean at the park entrance.

    I seem to remember them saying only self-contained are allowed, even tho some websites are saying tents and cars are ok. The beach was blustery-as! Like, we went for a walk on the beach and gave it up after 3 minutes so as not to get blinded by sand. And there are sand dunes both above the beach and along the river. There's a minimal toilet facility by the beach -- a minute or two walk from the farther camping area -- not terribly well maintained.
