There were about 8 tents there last weekend. One of those was on the beach (okay only in calmish weather) the others behind the dunes. A few more might squeeze into the less "choice" sites behind the beach.

The main issue with large numbers is toileting in the catchment. The best practice is to walk outside the catchment for "number 2s". That's about a 200m walk. It may be worth filtering, treating or boiling your drinking water,

Cheers

Thanks Peter. What's the name of the access track? I'm hearing mixed messages.
