It's a self-contained environment where most of the activities and amenities for visitors are located.

Families will find this area particularly suitable due to the range of activities available on-site, such as children's clubs and sports facilities. The proximity to the beach also means easy access for walks and playing by the sea. It's a convenient option for those looking for everything in one place.

For couples looking for a more relaxed experience, staying in one of the holiday cottages just outside the main park offers a bit more seclusion while still being a short walk from the beach and the park's amenities.
