BEACHGOERS will be able to grab a free ice cream at Watergate Bay on Thursday (April 2).

WAX Whippies is giving away 200 free ice creams from 12pm and 8pm, or until they are all gone.

The offer is first come, first served, with no booking required, and is expected to go quickly if the weather holds.

A spokesperson for WAX said: “We wanted to kick things off properly this year and give something back, so we’re giving away 200 free Whippies. It’s the perfect excuse to get down to the beach.

“WAX Whippies isn’t your average seaside ice cream.

“Our signature Whippies are loaded soft serve trays stacked high with sauces, toppings and extras, drizzled, crumbled and sprinkled to the max. Messy, indulgent and built for the beach.”
