The sand is soft, steep and hard to negotiate.
If you wish to access the (north) beach then use the path from the (northerly) car park.
A few years ago when we were fishing, our youngest, then five or six, took it upon himself to have a paddle in the river. He just stepped right off the bank expecting it to be like the beach and sea, shallow then gradually getting deeper...... wrong .... he went right under and only quick thinking by the other son saved him from being swept away and drowned.
This part of the river is not a safe swimming area.
