The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of detached houses and bungalows, many set within established, leafy gardens.

The shingle beach and grassy promenade form a central feature, backed by a line of beach huts. A notable local landmark is the thatched roof of the former Smugglers Inn, a historic pub. The area includes the Elmer Sands section, known for its innovative private coastal defence schemes created by residents using groynes and reefs.
