If you come during the weekends and public holidays, there are one or two "mobile shops" that sell kites of different shapes and sizes. Your children will enjoy flying kites here as there is a designated area for kite flying.

If you have the time to prepare, bring your own food and have picnic under the casuarina trees. There are benches and tables that you can use.
