Thorness Bay beach is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) due to both its biological and geological features, with thriving wildlife not found in other areas of the United Kingdom, which makes Thorness Bsy that little bit more special.

For the more energetic there are sports courts for football or basketball, and an adventure playground.
After a fun packed day, enjoy a tasty meal in the Boathouse Bar and Restaurant before a spot of evening entertainment.
