NãoInformação extra
BE WARNED, THE AREA IS KNOWN FOR VENOMOUS SNAKES. Following periods of prolonged rainfall the field areas behind beach can be extremely wet with potentially deep ditches. You can gain access to West Bexington Nature Reserve (for entrance SEE STAR on map). NOTE because the beach is made up of shingle the walk along it can be hard going. As with most South Coast beaches they can be EXTREMELY busy during summer months and car parks fill up quickly. BE SURE to check sea for Grebes/Divers and Seabirds and other birds on the beach.
