Today Par's working
port can still be seen exporting kaolin, a product of the china
clay industry.The port is situated at the one end of the flat
sandy beach with the costal path at the other end. The
beach is dog friendly as is Par Sands Holiday Park, which is
situated behind the low dunes at the back of the beach.

To call this area
just a duck pond would be a compete misnomer. There are
wooded walks around the large pond and a grassed area behind it
that is ideal for pick nicks or to just let the children run
around. Waterfowl of many types visit the pond as well as
the local duck population. It is well worth of visit for
the birds alone but you may also be lucky enough to some of the
spectacular
dragonflies, which also inhabit the area.
