Mermaid Beach

Mermaid Beach is a picturesque location that could easily be mistaken for a foreign destination due to its stunning views. The beach is pebbly and tends to be quiet, making it an ideal spot for those seeking tranquility. It is also a pet-friendly beach, with dogs required to be kept on a leash along the front. However, there is a park behind the beach where dogs are allowed to roam freely. This park also features clear footpaths and a large area for children to play. One of the unique features of Mermaid Beach is its small coves, which create a beautiful environment for swimming and sunbathing. The beach can be accessed via the Zig Zag Path, which descends from The Leas Cliff, offering breathtaking views along the way. There is also a walking path between the beach and the harbour. In terms of amenities, Mermaid Beach offers free public toilets that are maintained fairly clean. Additional toilet facilities can be found on The Leas Cliff. The beach also boasts numerous litter bins, including recycling bins, ensuring the promenade remains tidy and clean. Mermaid Beach can get quite busy during special events, such as air shows. Despite this, the beach manages to maintain its cleanliness, even during high tide. Visitors to the beach can also enjoy a variety of activities in the surrounding area, making it a popular spot for weekend getaways.
