I diddent know that tide organ was there! Where abouts is it situated by?

[brodleaf]

It's right opposite the northe entrance to the Pleasure Beach (main entrance), next to the 'Sand Castle' swimming pool.

what does the organ do? please someone reply!

[brodleaf]

The organ pipes run out through the sea wall, and at high tide (hence the name) the water forces air up the pipes making the noise.
