    The first beach we attempted during this year's Cornish holiday and in fairness it worked well. There is a level carpark, with (clean) Portaloos and about 4 designated disabled parking spaces adjacent to the road you need to cross to access the beach. There is a cafe with multiple tables in an area overlooking the beach

    Good

    Once across the quiet single track road there is a wide solid board walk leading to two viewing areas over looking the beach. one has an incline but my powered triode easily got me up to the top of the Dune - there is then soft sand about 8m to the cafe overlooking the beach. I went full monty and powered down the soft sandy beach and made my two 14 year old boys drag me 100m onto an elevated soft sandy vantage point (well above the tide line) to watch them body board in the surf!

    Excellent

    As beaches go the parking does not get better than this - level, hard compacted ground and level (ish) access to the beach

    There was an accessible Portal but I did not use it.
