Goodrington Sands

A glorious family-friendly beach, Goodrington Sands is an award-winning stretch of golden sand that offers kids the chance to build sand castles, explore the rockpools or take a dip in the clear blue water.

Even bring your canine friend along with the beach’s dog-friendly section, not to mention the fun-packed water park nearby.
