West Bay Play Area

Down by the harbour at West Bay, this little play area punches above its weight. The inclusive setup is genuinely thoughtful — wheelchair-accessible swings, musical equipment that keeps younger kids occupied for ages, and a climbing structure that works for a range of abilities. It’s fully enclosed, so parents can actually relax rather than hovering the whole time, and the sightlines are good enough that you can grab a bench and keep an eye on things easily. Parking nearby, toilets on hand, and the whole place is kept in decent nick — which, honestly, you can’t say about every coastal playground.
