The harbour offers a range of watersports, including kayaking, windsurfing, sailing, stand-up paddle boarding and a kids' club.

From classic vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate flavours to more undistinguished pistachio and gooseberry flavours, choose your favourite and enjoy it in either a tub or cone topped with a flake (we know our preference!).
