Simply being here - without necessarily spending on food, attractions etc - is a terrific experience. We were there late at night and early next morning, when standing and looking up and down the Parade is exciting enough.

This is under construction at present, but is only being done in portions so as not to interrupt everything. The plans for this space are awesome.

Most of this street was under construction. It was too bad. No workers were around but everything was barricaded. The future plans look beautiful.

It is one of the longest marine parade, well lit for a late evening walk. The Council is working on beautifying the beach and hence, some areas at this time cannot be accessed. An excellent place for couples and those with young families to hang out there.

Beautiful stone beach, great to relax and sunbathe. The i site provides all the info you need. If you are lucky, you might even get to see a show on the stage.

The walk along the Marine Parade is full of joggers, cyclists, families and people like us just out for a walk. It is great along the water, and very clean and well marked.

We hired two bikes from the place next to the pool and had a great cycle along the sea front on a very flat cycleway. This was a great way to see the sights and the sea.
