Pendine Beach is absolutely beautiful, apart from one thing and that is the Ministry of Defence! I only came here as I heard that the beach was beautiful and 7 miles long so I was really looking forward to walking it with my dog. Upon arrival to the beach, i was shocked to see that i could only walk a few hundred metres before the beach was completely cordoned off. I then came back to the holiday home to sit in the sun and read my book but all i can hear is gun fire! Not at all what i envisaged my stay to be.
