"Lovely walk along the beach with a box of chips from the pier watching the sunset, absolutely beautiful."
"Lovely place to walk with family or friends. Beach is all pebbles with sand areas near the water or under water depending on the time of day. Various garden like areas for picnics and picture taking opportunites."
"Just lovely walk, and view"
"Good long shelter from the usual South-Westerly winds and rain and also the start and finish of Southsea parkrun 9:00 every Saturday in normal times"
"Very beautiful! Haven't been to a beach in several years, so this was a wonderful experience. The shells and stones we found, the rocks we skimmed (poorly) and the beaming sun were lovely. Definitely bring a plethora of change if you're going to the arcade!!"
