Shingle beaches – Here are some of the many advantages in visiting a beach with shingle sand:

• Gusts and strong winds do not blow shingle sand into your eyes and all over your food and clothing.
• Swimming can take place at the waters edge rather than yards out, meaning parents are in easy reach of their children.
• Paddling can be supervised close to where parents are sitting as the tide line does not vary much during the day.
• Shingle sand is easily brushed off before you go home.
• Kayaks and windsurfers can be launched at the shoreline.
• Boats can be nosed right up to the shoreline, allowing passengers to disembark onto the beach, subject to prevailing sea conditions.
