Access is via the shore, and the site is suitable for beginners. Conditions include mild currents and water temperatures ranging from 9C to 17C. Due to the cool water, appropriate thermal protection is required to prevent heat loss. Facilities available at the site include parking, toilets, showers, a cafe, and first aid services.
