Lovely spot for a swim & rest.
Bbq table & toilets right there. Quite exposed, with a main busy road right there but also has a nice feel to it anyway. Would stay there again

Beautiful spot, with table and right at the water, but the toilets were disgusting so I didn't stay during the night.

Not a bad spot for 2 campers, train noise in the morning but not overnight, loos kept open over night.
A good spot for a swim and an outdoor shower. Downside is it's next to a road which had cars most of the night.
