Flamingo Amusements is a traditional seaside arcade situated directly on the shingle beach in Hastings. It features a mix of classic coin-operated pushers, claw machines, and modern ticket-redemption games. The venue is located within the historic Stade area, adjacent to the working fishing fleet's net shops. It provides an indoor gaming environment primarily catering to families and tourists visiting the nearby seafront. The arcade operates as a permanent fixture on East Beach Street, integrated into the local coastal promenade layout.
