****Traffic warning after the tide goes down****
Tide will cover the road today at 0943-1233
We expect a huge amount of traffic to leave the Island after the tide, which may cause delays in getting to the village junction of up to an hour from the back of the que.
So, no need to rush off this morning or after the tide!
Enjoy the rest of the day after you have packed away. Infact, this applies everyday, and new campers are shocked when we tell them this. No 10am to pack up and be off the pitch at shell island!
You don’t need to clear your pitch until 3pm, and then you can stay on site until 8pm this evening, so there’s plenty of time to relax and enjoy the rest of the day before heading home.

Why not stop for a grab some lunch in the Snackbar, pop down to Coffee on the quay at the harbour for a frappe and seafood basket, treat yourself to an ice cream from the gift shop, and pick up snacks for the drive home at the supermarket. ☀️🍦🦞🛍️

Make the most of your visit and enjoy a lovely relaxing last day with us! 😊
