Other Comments:

great scenery, but gets too busy to fly between 10: 00 and 17:00 in holiday season. Not much space to fly at high tide. If busy or high tide try the island hill, smaller space but even better views and gets wind from all directions. The hill is a top place to fly - try flying from the chapel - over the cliffs you can fly the kite below you and feels like you're on the edge.
