Braye Beach

The old quay is great for high tide jumping too!

There are plenty of facilities only a short walk away including public toilets under the Braye Beach Hotel which makes this beach a great choice for families. There are also a hand full restaurants on Braye Road accessible from the beach side just over the sand dunes, enjoy a long lunch with a stunning view or order a take-away to take back to the beach.
