Downderry is just 15 minutes away located in a small village with a pub ,restaurant and shops. It is a mixture of sand and rocks so ideal to keep children interested. Access is easy. Whitsand bay is a lovely sandy beach with access is down a long flight of stairs but it is well worth the effort. There are no facilities at this beach.
