Nice, easy, short hike whether it's high or low tide. The first and last few yards are very unkept paths with lots of nettle. Well behaved dogs can be kept off leash for most of the walk, be prepared to carry their waste tho as there is only one bin towards the end. Nearby street parking is free. Worth stopping by the Southbourne farm shop before you head home, great produce.

Hiking

The walk along by the sea is great. For some reason the route then goes inland and through various housing estates which wasn't so great. Would have been better to keep on the coastal path and then double back.
