Built between 1071 - 1086. In 1720 a great wave destroyed the old church, though the church tower still stands, the seaward side is painted as a sea mark.

Heading south 100m is Baywatch on the Beach cafe (great coffee) with outdoor seating + public toilets.

St Helen's Old Church is an intriguing piece of 800 year old history. Although now little more than the tower remains, it watches over this lovely calm beach, popular with families, paddleboarders and kayakers. The seaward side is painted white and acts as a navigational aid for seafarers. There is even a concrete WW2 pillbox built into the church.
