This is a very popular spot when the weather is good. On one side you have a long sandy beach and on the other you have a succession of play areas for kids; from the big slide to trampolining, a water park and go karts. There is also a cafe/diner for exhausted parents and plenty of green spaces including tennis courts nearby. It gets very busy at times but access is facilitated by an adequate car park and the local taxis are usually around.
