can park right by the beach.
Atmosphere
can give a good fun wave on the right swell and really easy to park etc. massive tide range of about a mile so best to come at high tide if you don't fancy the walk. can get busy with kids etc in the summer.
General
only worth a visit if you close-ish. better off going to newquay.

Longboarder - Im am A local to this beach, It can Get really good in the autumn/winter, i surf there regularly, and often has a surfable swell, ok its not croyde or watergate, but i live 300 miles away fromthere and go 2/3time a year.If your local and a longboarder i would recommend this spot as its better than wanking in your bedroom over photos of better waves. At least your out there getting wet.

It is not a surf beach - I have surfed for many years and many trips to devon, i kite surf too , i kite sure at camber and it is good for that but dont be mistaken you can not surf it, in the many years I have been kite-ing there I have never seen a surfable wave. . . Aloha

NO surf ,just mush - NO No No like I said early on in the year this is not a good surfable wave and any body who says otherwise needs to get out more. Camber is realy good to kitesurf and I have done for many years , but I have never been tempted to take my minimal or any other surfboard. When there is a wave it is very choppy not clean and is just mush.. kitesurf yes ,surf no long board no laught at yes. . .
