Insider tips

Carry a supply of pound coins for older machines that may not accept modern contactless cards.

Check the beach tide levels before visiting, as the arcade is right on the seafront and high tides are a scenic backdrop for the area.

Combine a visit with a walk through the nearby Old Town to see the historic fisherman's quarter.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to park directly on the beach road; utilize the designated car parks nearby to avoid fines.

Good to know

Operations are highly seasonal; expect limited capacity or occasional closures during winter months.
