This is go-to holiday spot in the Blackwater area and offers a wonderful alternative if you’ve had your fill of shopping in London. Fortunately, the area doesn’t experience a huge number of tourists which means there is more space for you to explore and relax without struggling to find a spot to sit down on the beach.
