Why go
Walk a section for the changing angle of the bay rather than treating the road as only a transport link. The concrete tetrapods below the promenade make the engineered shoreline visible, while the sweeping curve explains the familiar Queen’s Necklace image when the coast is lit after dark.
What to look for
- The promenade traces a long curve around the bay.
- Concrete tetrapods line the shore below the walkway.
Useful to know
- Choose a manageable section of the promenade rather than assuming you need to walk its full length.
- Expect an exposed coastal walk in sun, rain or wind.
