The road to The Lobster is an unmade sandy track, but it is hard underneath and you won’t get stuck.
From May – August there is a fenced off bird nesting area on the beach. You can walk around it no problem but you do need to have your dogs under control around it. It’s an important breeding site for Little Terns.
Our fencing is 4ft high, it’s post and rail with stock fence attached. The holes are smaller at the bottom. There are photos on the website. If your dog jumps 4ft fencing prob best you don’t come, East Ruston Cottages has plenty of properties with 6ft solid fencing which would be more suitable.
