An ideal family venue as fishing can be from the Wall beside the road, from the beach in front of the Chalets or from the rocky reefs. The disabled angler can fish from the wall. The high water venues, the wall and beach are essentially clean ground fishing onto sand, shingle and glorious mud. The low water reefs are a group of rocky reefs set into sand and mud.

The high water marks fish best on tides over five metres, the bigger tides being more productive.

Fishing is two hours either side of high water.

The reefs are fished best on the mid range tides below 5.6 metres.

Usually one hour after low water back another 2 to 3 hours.
