When the kids need a break from the water, there is a sand play area and a sunbathing area. Family-friendly restrooms, showers and changing areas are provided.

If you come with kids three and under, remember to bring a swim diaper or purchase one there. Appropriate swimwear is required for all guests. “Revealing swimsuits” (aren’t all swimsuits a bit revealing?), cutoff shorts and colored t-shirts are not allowed.
