Very cool area. Nice to be beside the sea. Grounds are well looked after, mowed and no rubbish floating around. Cool playground for the kids.

Here for the extravaganza fair this time. But even without something in the park and open space near the water is amazing in summer. Can be a little chilly if there's a breeze and kids can get too close to the water so keep an eye on them. Otherwise love coming here.
