Grassy field with kids play zone and a beach. Onsite bathrooms with ample parking. Kids area has a large sea monster and octopus as well as a zip line. Beach strip but it’s normally covered in fallen washed up logs. Good spot to spend a afternoon

Greet park, lots of room to rum around. The views of the water are beautiful. My girls loved the octopus, and the playground equipment. The zip line was long but a bit slow. Lots of things to climb on. The bathrooms were clean. A lot of ducks and dogs in the park. Only the dogs were on leashes.

Just perfect location for spending your weekend with your kids as there lots to do for kids including sand and sea. The day we visited was perfect neither hot nor cold so it was a superb experience for us. Food stalls even make this location more perfect for spend time.

Overall great place to comes with the whole family there u...
