    A perfect park next to the beach where your children will be safe. Lots of mingles, slides and a barrel of a playground with a changing anti-slip surface where water sprayed! Super Fun for younger kids, worth a visit.

    Fantastic little park with water fun, picnic areas and also easily accessible near shops and beach... Loads of fun, especially for the younger members of the family (but older ones had fun too!).  more »

    I have many happy memories of this area. It was lovely to get back down on the beach again and you can see why in the pictures

    Great little venue, run by friendly enthusiasts and cheap as chips. Totally recommend it, and it is much better than I expected!
  • By Stacey Liakhovski
    Love it. Great place for the family weekend. Lots of options are available: kids area, mini train, public BBQ grill, beach, cafés. All is well maintained. The low hills protect the kids area from the sea breezes and southerlies.
  • By matthew weaver
    Great for family, plenty of activity for kids and spots to rest for adults. Equipped with barbecue facilities for a hot meal.
  • By Mark Gouldthorpe
    What can I say, kids love this place, there are enough things to keep the little ones occupied as well as a train ride and a lot of seating and two barbeques keep the rest of us happy. Shops a short walk away should you need any supplies.
