About
A Victorian promenade running from Martello Terrace at the harbour south to the foot of Bray Head, with a shingle beach on one side and a strip of grass on the other. Kids cycle and scoot the wide paved path, play ball on the green, and pick through pebbles at the water's edge. The beach is steep shingle for the first twenty metres, then sand and stones nearer the sea. An enclosed playground partway along means smaller kids can be let loose while someone keeps walking. The wrought iron railings and bandstand are original, and the arcades along Strand Road still pull a crowd on a sunny day.

Perfect For
All ages welcome
The promenade and playground suit all ages including toddlers. The climb to the stone cross on Bray Head is steep and better for children who can walk it themselves.
