I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
Lovely open beach and area that I can't believe I haven't previously added.
At this hour it is generally empty, but with the introduction of one of two beach front saunas it has become popular with the early morning "sea dippers" (don't know if there's an official term for what these nutters do).
Also included a shot of the old Coney beach fun fair which is slowly being dismantled [thankfully]. This is meant to be replaced by a development of houses, shops, etc.
There is a large choice of parking, but the closest and easiest is the car park of the Hi Tide Inn, the same Inn that hosts the annual Elvis festival, and is literally right on the edge of Sandy Bay itself.
p.s. Sandy Bay and Coney Beach shots were both pre-dawn, whilst the old lookout tower is allegedly at sunrise!
The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 11/10/2025. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.
