Mostly table tennis on the concrete tables from mid-afternoon, and running on the packed sand beside the tiles, early or after dark on weekdays; probably no runners at midday in summer.
Informal sportthe concrete table-tennis tables on the promenade by the hospital ramp
The concrete tables are in use from mid-afternoon on. Bats get lent along the line and the loser steps off for whoever is waiting; singles turn into doubles as more people turn up.

Runningthe packed sand strip beside the promenade tiles, seaward of the bike lane
Runners keep to the packed strip beside the sand and leave the tiles to bikes, skates and pushchairs. Before eight and after dark it is locals; in summer nobody runs this stretch at midday.
