The beach has welcomed an increasing number of evening visitors in its first month, taking up the chance to enjoy the sea after sunset and an evening cool-off from the heat of summer.

To meet demand, the length of beach available at night has now increased from around 140 metres to 260 metres, adding an extra 120 metres of swimmable shore, with the number of lifeguards, security personnel and lights all increased.
