Hi, I'm Sandy the Crab, and I look after The Beach Retreat here at Summer Beach Club!
I've already put my order in for plenty of sunshine, so hopefully we'll have lots of warm summer days to enjoy on the beach. Grab a deckchair, kick off your shoes and get ready for some sandy fun.
This year I've been busy making The Beach Retreat even better. We've got plenty of buckets and spades ready for epic sandcastle competitions, plus a brand-new Gem Mining adventure where you can dig for hidden treasures. Keep reading to find out more!
And while the little ones are busy playing, the grown-ups can head up to our brand-new Beach House rooftop bar, where you can enjoy refreshing drinks and take in fantastic views across all the Summer Beach Club action.
I can't wait to see you on the beach this summer!
The Beach Retreat is the perfect place to take a break from all the excitement at Summer Beach Club at Meadowhall. Whether you're recharging between rides, watching the children play or simply enjoying the sunshine, it's the ultimate spot to relax and soak up the summer atmosphere.
Stretch out on a deckchair, feel the sand beneath your feet and enjoy Sheffield's very own urban beach. While the little ones build sandcastles and play in the sand, you can sit back, unwind and enjoy everything that makes Summer Beach Club one of Sheffield's favourite family days out.
New for 2026, The Beach House is our brand-new rooftop bar overlooking the beach, offering the perfect place to relax while taking in the atmosphere of Summer Beach Club. Sip on a refreshing cocktail, enjoy a delicious mocktail or choose from a range of summer favourites as you soak up the sunshine from above.

Get ready to dig, discover and strike gold with our brand-new Gem Mining Treasure Hunt! Hidden beneath the sand are colourful gems just waiting to be uncovered by young explorers. Grab your mining tools, start digging and see what treasures you can find as you search through the beach. It's a fun, hands-on adventure that's perfect for curious little treasure hunters and adds even more excitement to your day at Summer Beach Club at Meadowhall.
