"The Esplanade: A Journey Across Continents and Cultures" From the picturesque Lawns & Head in Bray, County Wicklow to the enchanting St. Peter Port Harbour at Night in Guernsey, Channel Islands, the esplanades of the world offer a captivating blend of beauty and serenity. In Ballyholme, Bangor, one can stroll along the esplanade while soaking up breathtaking views of nature's wonders. Meanwhile, The Harbour at Aberaeron in Cardigan Bay welcomes visitors with its charming coastal charm that is quintessentially Welsh. For those seeking a taste of British seaside nostalgia, Marine Drive at Bognor (aka East Parade) provides an idyllic setting reminiscent of bygone eras. Further south lies Gytheio on the Mani Peninsula in Greece's Peloponnese region - an esplanade that exudes Mediterranean allure. Closer to home, Main Street and Esplanade in Portstewart beckon with their vibrant atmosphere and lively street scenes. On Scotland's Isle of Bute - Rothesay boasts The West Esplanade where visitors can enjoy panoramic vistas over tranquil waters. Crossing back to England brings us to Exmouth's own Esplanade - a haven for sun-seekers and beach lovers alike. And let us not forget about history; The Crossword Craze / 1920 reminds us that even leisurely pursuits have their place along these promenades. Venturing beyond Europe takes us to Lourdes' Statue of St. Michael where faith intertwines with natural beauty along this sacred esplanade. Finally, we find ourselves across the Atlantic Ocean on Havana's Malecon – an iconic waterfront stretch that embodies Caribbean spirit amidst Central American charm.
