âThe playground is great for kids and the newly installed sun shelters are great so kids can play all day and not get burnt. There are public toilets, drinking fountains and public bbq's. The beach is shelly and muddy.. great for kids that like looking for crabs.â

âSuch a lovely seaside playground for the kids. It was very tidy and well maintained, and even though my three year old son was a *little* too small for it, he still had a wonderful time with his sister đ¤â
