This Beach turns up Flounder reagular. if there's abit of a move the turbot really come on the feed. Sea trout can be taken on sand eel and i have had a few bass off it. Expect colies after dark, dogs if its calm. Mack's, whiting, pouting and be careful of the odd weaver. Fishes best after a blow when there's still a move in the water. Tides not so important but high tide at dusk for the trout is best. Worm works well for nearly everything and sandeels for the trout. Fish close ie inside 40 yards for flounder. The beach can change qquiet quickly so look for features to fish. on the right hand side of the beach is two large rocks, one further out than the other, there is normally a trench that runs between these at a 45deg angle to the shore so if the fishings slow try to hit this trench.

hope this helps, if you have anymore questions pm me.

Scara has pretty well summed it up. Can be very good for sea trout for sure. Have never caught whiting there although got a few from the adjacent pier but they were tiny
