Relaxing parade
Jan 2022 • Family
When We went here, the waves are still gigantic due to the swell from the recent earthquake. The beach is very clean and shells are fine. You can easily see from the shore how deep the water is, and the slope of the shore is visibly getting deep.
The parking is quite a challenge on peak hours as this area is a very good place to stroll.
There are water fountains, parks and some playground nearby and kids are enjoying in every corner.
Good place to recharge.

Mesmerising

Beautiful views, and very mesmerising to stand at the end and watch the waves roll over the dark pebbles (with the reflection in the glass).

Such a beautiful place
May 2021
Walking along Marine Parade is the best. So many things to look at and shops to stop at if you want. I did enjoy the lights at night too, that was an added bonus

Great walk
Jul 2021
Quite a lot to see along the way but the two items our kids enjoyed the most were the jetty out over the waves and the playground. Even on an overcast day it was an enjoyable walk
