Wind	An Easterly is Offshore but shelter can often be found at the south end under the cliffs at high tide.
Parking	At high tide the car park behind the dunes seems to afford the best access.
Facilities	Abersoch -a bustling surf and sail village is only 2 kms away and .Camping etc within walking distance.
