Near the west end of White Park Bay, this modern, purpose-built hostel has mostly four-bed dorms, plus twin rooms with TV, all with private bathroom. The common room is warmed by a fireplace and positioned to soak up the view, and the beach is just a few minutes' walk through the dunes. It's often booked by groups, so call ahead.
