Heene Terrace

Head down to Marine Parade and you'll find Heene Terrace tucked into that stretch where the seafront actually feels like somewhere to settle. It's got that mix of manicured lawns and genuine character you don't get from the standard promenade—the kind of spot where you'll see regulars with their coffee, families spreading out on the grass, and people genuinely spending time rather than just jogging past. The views across the water are solid, especially on a decent day, and it's got enough trees and benches to make you feel like you've escaped the busier bits of town without actually going anywhere.
