Tony another option is to park on the main road,head south and pull onto the path about 50 yards before you get to the Farm Cottages,the path is nice and wide and your car is under the road/street lights its visible to all that pass or drive past the chippy/kiddies park on the old road (cul de sac) and park at the council office/cottage building next to the old Battery and walk through onto the prom and right past the Groynes or walk along the Cycle/foot Path,
