The West beach used to be a really popular location for families during the summer. This picture, taken around 2000 depicts a beautiful sunny day with local lads fishing off the breakwater. James Stevens has often fished from the breakwater and, depending on the time of year has caught mackerel, pollack and sea bass. The breakwater is now closed to the public as it is deemed to be unsafe for the public. Apparently both the West beach and the breakwater were bought by a French company in 2006.
