An urban beach and seaside promenade northeast of the city centre, with gentle sands. It is ideal for evening strolls and watching the night views of the Bay Bridge.

The sand is gentle, the facilities are well developed, and a seaside promenade and greenway run along the coast, so you can cycle all the way toward the Bay Bridge. Swimming is possible in summer (check the designated bathing areas). The rest of the year the beach is mainly for strolling, flying kites and watching the sunset. It is about a 10-minute taxi ride from the old streets of Chikan. Admission is free, and there are plenty of seafood street stalls nearby.
