“Photo taken in winter. Will add one in summer at a later date. Brave people who decide to plunge in the cold and in between buildings and pedestrians. Not sure what the charm is with so many great beaches all around.”

“Cool spot to swim! Being so close to the boat moorings makes me a bit worried about potential fuel leaks, but hopefully water quality is monitored closely”
