Added North Beach steam train pass

Its always nice to walk around Goodrington and it’s bigger than you realise, with the Promenade, lakes, beach and shops. Cantina is a great place to stop for a bite and chill with a pint, they do great pizza and often have some live entertainment as well. If not grab yourself an ice cream from the kiosk on the seafront and just wander around.

The beach is split into two, North and South. The line between the two becomes fairly obvious at low tide with the natural rock exposed in the center which splits the beach. The North end beside the promenade is dog friendly, where as on the South side dogs are banned in the summer months. South has supervision during the summer making it much safer for families and at low tide the rock pools are exposed which are great to explore.

The local steam train can also be seen running along the back of south sands beach.
