L'esplanada de la Marina de València

Mostly sitting and talking along the ledges by the water, walking the dock circuit and skating on the smooth paving and low ledges, probably late in the evening once the terraces shut and there's a breeze.

Sitting and talking the ledges and steps on the water side of Veles e Vents, after the terraces shut

Once the beach empties and the bar terraces close, groups sit along the ledges facing the water with a speaker going. It's lit, it's open, and there's always a breeze off the bocana when the streets inland are still holding the day's heat.

Sitting and talking the marina dock circuit — Clock Building to Veles e Vents and back, as an alternative to Paseo Neptuno

In August the beach paseo is shoulder to shoulder, so people who just want to walk and talk come round the docks instead. Same distance, no crowd, and you can hear each other.

Skating the flat apron and granite ledges in front of Veles e Vents, on the seaward side facing the pontoons

The paving around Veles e Vents is the smoothest big slab of concrete in the city and the low stone ledges at the base of the building are the whole reason skaters and scooter kids come down here. It's the ledges and the shallow banks they want, not the building.
