A small beach reached by steps is judged on its access, its tide and how safe the descent is. Steep stairs can be slippery when wet, so take care with children, prams and older visitors. One reviewer advises visiting around high tide, so check the tide times before you set out. Regulars often bring their own shade and water, since facilities at small beaches can be limited.
For a quiet family picnic on a small beach at Laingholm, Dorothy Beach is worth a visit around high tide.
