City Beach and Skate Park
Show off your new pair of board shorts or that rockin' henna tramp stamp. If you want to see and be seen, this is where you need to be.

The horseshoe pits are well-manicured and chances are you'll have them all to yourselves unless it's Monday night. The beach is home to some of the City's most beautiful sunsets.
