Beautiful spot to sit, chat and take in the view. Or for kids to paddle their feet without too many waves. Facilities include picnic tables, walking/cycling tracks, kids' play equipment, water bubblers, and public toilets. There are also a few cafes in this area selling fish and chips, icecreams etc.

Very nice views from here and very relaxing. Great setup of the pool right next to the ocean which accommodates adults and children alike And a playground a short stroll away for the kids
