“Such a cute playground. Our little one is 10mo and there are a few things for him to do. Theres a mom and bub swing, mini tunnel, mini slide. And its mostly shaded!! There are also big things too but id say its mostly aimed at younger children. There are grassy patches with benches. Sea view, shade under trees. Ducks roaming around. Its also wheelchair accessible and has a rotating platform that is wheelchair accessible!”

“Beautiful beach with loads of shells. There's a children playground nearby. There are sufficient tables and benches by the playground and families have lunches at the tables. Acoffee cart is there most of the day. I see people drive to the beach just to buy takeaway coffee.”
