With summer soon upon us, South Dune residents again welcome Castle Park residents to the beach. Please make note of the following South Beach guidelines:

Access:

• We encourage all to arrive by foot.
• Please protect the dunes by accessing the beach only via the path adjacent to the chair rack.
• Golf carts may be used on the Paddle Court access road should they be required. Note that this road provides emergency vehicle access and must be kept clear of parked carts. There is room for a maximum of four parked carts – please park in a single row at the bottom of hill / end of the drive. (If you arrive and find here are already 4 parked carts; please turn around and park at the castle.)
