Season: autumn

Also known as Luce Bay or Luce Sands, this is a popular beach, often included in the “best beaches…” listings.  There are acres of space at the eastern end and the bay is designated a Special Area for Conservation for its dune, seashore and seabed habitats.  Wildlife watching is popular here, both maritime and land based.  With over three miles of sand visible at low tide, this is truly an escape to unspoilt nature.
