Insider tips

Book swimming pool sessions well in advance, especially during peak school holiday periods, as capacity is strictly managed.

Check the tide charts before heading to the beach, as the water retreats a significant distance at low tide.

Request a pitch or accommodation further away from the main entertainment complex if you prefer a quieter environment.

What to avoid

Attempting to swim in the sea without checking local lifeguard flags, as coastal currents and tides can be unpredictable.

Good to know

The park typically closes for a period during the winter months for maintenance and site upgrades.

Etiquette

Casual beachwear is acceptable on-site, but modest dress is required in indoor restaurants and entertainment venues during evening hours.
