From the car park, head away from Boulmer with the sea on your right. The path is clear and is part of St Oswald's Way. The start is not in good condition, but this doesn't last for long. Go through a gate and head over the field ahead. There is livestock in this field.  The choice is to either continue ahead, or take advantage of the easy access to the beach. This is what we did, and Jem had a lovely time dashing through the waves. The beach is a mixture of sand and rocks and is very popular with local dog owners. If continuing over the fields, you'll be rewarded with wonderful sea views and larger beaches the further Boulmer is left behind.
