That looks like a very cool ride. Those fishing boats are a bit landlocked at the moment.

It reminds me of a book I read about John Cleese some years ago. He was raised in a seaside resort town, which ultimately inspired the series Faulty Towers. The beach wasn't very appealing because when the tide went out it would leave vast flats of unpleasant, sucking mud just like the video, so the town came up with an ad campaign about the medicinal benefits of the mud to draw in vacationers.
