BRIGHTLINGSEA LIDO
Changing rooms
In 2019 the Lido invested in brand new changing rooms with showers and changing cubicles.
We have male, female and accessible changing rooms with toilets available.
All have open shower facilities.
Café Lido
The Lido has a newly refurbished Café on-site offering a wide range of hot and cold food and drinks.
Whether you're looking for a quick bite, something more substantial or a tea, coffee or ice-cream, you'll find it here at Café Lido

Please do not bring alcohol into the Lido. We also do not allow customers to bring glass in to the Lido either.
Paddling Pool
The paddling pool is open during General Public sessions, it is not open during adult lane swim sessions (as children are not allowed during these).
