Life in the bay is built around the Esplanade - showcasing alfresco cafes, shops, picnic areas, playgrounds and a vibrant marina with the laidback lifestyle attracting people and families from all walks of life. A mild climate of between 22 and 30 degrees encourages year-round water sports including sailing, kite-boarding and water skiing.

There is one public and two private hospitals, supermarkets, a multi-screen cinema plus a library and art gallery as well as some exceptional cafes and restaurants.
