- Pack for the beach breeze. Clip-on towel pins and low-profile shade gear help on windier afternoons.
- Go cash-smart. There’s an ATM on site and currency exchange available.

- Keep evenings simple. The restaurant, takeaway, beach bar (seasonal), and ice-cream parlour make dining effortless.
- Bring a torch. Torches are required in some areas of the campsite after dark.
- With dogs? Book within the designated dog section and use the dog-washing station after beach time.
- Balance active and chill days. Mix the water park, playgrounds, and mini-golf with sunrise beach walks and cycling in the natural park.
