Fished this mark on many ocassions the last few years in May & June,usually at low-water.
However,the beach is steep,so it probably fishes well at any state of the tide.

Best place apparently is just on the point at the end of the run-way.

I've caught dogs,thornbacks and mackerel.

The small beach to the right has lugworm.
