A long stretch of sand coupled with ample free parking and children's outdoor play area near by make Minnis Bay the perfect beach for an afternoon in the sun. For the adventurous there is plenty of space for water sports, such as windsurfing or kite boarding and there is a sailing club close by. The Minnis Bay paddling pool is the perfect location to hunt for crustaceans and there is also an excellent restaurant with a bar, and a kiosk on the prom.

At high tide, usually a small amount of beach remains, except at spring time when the beach can disappear until the tide moves out again.
