David Wheeler, the Acting Seafront Operations Manager, encourages everyone to enjoy walks on the promenade during the festive period but advises staying on the path or higher up on the beach, particularly when sea conditions are rough. He emphasizes the need to keep children close and to hold their hands on the beaches, as large waves pose a significant risk of sweeping people into the sea, with smaller individuals being more vulnerable.
