Its main attractions are its extensive sandy beaches continually being pounded by large Atlantic rollers. Just as popular these days are long cliff walks which are described as some of the most spectacular in the world. The two main beaches, �Summerleaze� and �Crooklets�, have been described by Australian surfers as the �Bondi of Britain�. Both are patrolled by lifeguards during the summer months, they are consistently checked and commended for their cleanliness. There is a salt-water bathing pool on Summerleaze which is a safe haven for children to play.
