It's a beachside stretch along the Marine Drive - a cacophony of sounds...From DEAD QUIET to RAVE. We're going to do our best to try to lay this out for you as if you were actually walking along and appreciating the RICHES contained in this short STRIP of incredible entertainment - to suit all - from babes in arms - to budding sand-castle builders - to roller-blading swimming and raving teenagers - surfer and bellyboarding dudes- hot, sultry sun-seeking tan-frenzied femmes - volleyball fanatics - pub'n grub beer-arm benders - late night dance ravers.
