The Rutland Water beach at Sykes Lane, Empingham is now open daily until the end of August,
starting with afternoons and then all day through the school summer holidays. Eleven truckloads of sand has been delivered to the shoreline this week. It has been shaped by diggers ready for use. The attraction opened yesterday afternoon. Year 6 from Copthill School were among the first to set foot on it as well as locals and those who travelled from as far as London and Leicester. Bathing is available during good weather and when lifeguards are patrolling. Anthony Chapman, activities manager at Rutland Water, says it's an important part of their offer.
‘It's really nice to see when the sand is all down. We brought in 220 tonnes of it this year. It's a really big operation, but once it's there the beach looks amazing now. You know already to rock'n'roll for the summer’.
