Splash Pad at the Gap

Located next to the beach huts at the southern end of Beach House Grounds, Splash Pad provides a safe interactive water-play area for children. Seating around the facility, including pebble shaped feature seating, enhances the beach theme of the area.

Splash Pad is activated each year by Easter weekend, and turned off after the October half term. Operational times are 10am to 1:30pm and 2:30pm to 6pm. Water sampling/testing is also carried out regularly.

Next to Splash Pad is a play area called Gull Island, which is aimed mainly at children eight and under.

Nearby for the adults there are the unique East Beach Artists’ Studios to peruse, and Coast Café, see:
