Was actually decent, apart from the massive turds that someone had deposited on the splash pad floor. On the plus side, It did make for a very entertaining 20 minutes whilst drying my son at the benches positioned above the splash pad, watching kids and a couple of adults sliding around in it. What a day. Please see attached photos of slippery turds.

A wonderful place for little ones to spend some time and simply enjoy a refreshing cold activity. Close to the beach, great view and FREE. You can also keep an eye on your child from up top.

My little one was delighted to spend some time there and enjoy the refreshing cold water. A great place for children to simply run around in the water, play games and just soak themselves, and yes, it is FREE. A must do if you are ever in the area with children.

This is a free and fun activity for ages 1 to adults!!! You can spend as long as you like, there are benches around the area to sit and watch. It's good clean fun for all, but you will get wet!!! There were some dry parts around the outside edge nearest the sea but the wind did blow a little spray my way!!! No shoes allowed in but the surface was antislip. There is a tap just inside to wash the sand off your feet as sand clogs the filter. There are a couple of little fountains just near the gate for the unsure /younger children but soon they see the other children playing and go further in. We spent a very happy hour here. It's just by the stairs near the Cliff Hotel, and by the Banksy and yacht pond.
