Halifax, mejores playas

Visited this place on a day in August and was extremely disappointed to find that the tide didn't come in until 7:30 PM! The kids were left with a beach that didn't even have clear sand; it was all black underneath and not soft enough to play in. With no water and the day being very hot, it was a letdown. However, the scenery nearby was pleasant, especially around the lake with swan and flamingo boat rides. The boat rides cost £15 for 30 minutes (you have to time yourself on a mobile) and accommodate only 4-5 people at a time. Two people need to paddle with their feet, which can get a bit tiring. There are also other boats on the opposite side that charge £5 for adults and £4 for children each. Overall, it's a nice place for a stroll, but if there's no tide, I wouldn't recommend bringing your children!
