Road ConditionsThe coastal roads near this location are prone to surface water and salt spray, which accelerates wear on brakes and electrics.

WeatherCoastal fog can reduce visibility to near zero in this area, particularly in early mornings between autumn and spring.

Seasonal TipSchool holidays: Caravans and motorhomes fill the roads here, leading to more overheating, tyre blowouts, and tight-space incidents.

AccessOne-way systems in the town centre mean we plan our approach carefully to minimise disruption and delays.

If you're driving through Sandplace, keep your speed down on the A387 — especially at Level crossing where visibility can be limited.
