The waterfront promenade is beautiful! Please be aware that there are a lot of people walking along it, especially when the weather is nice. I would recommend avoiding those times. If you can plan more time, you can relax at some lovely spots with great views. Highly recommended.

It's easy to ride. When we were there, the bike path was very close to being flooded.
