One Mum, A Plan & A Bunch of Passenger Princesses

If you’re after a beach spot that delivers sun, space, and just the right amount of kid-induced chaos, The Marina’s got you covered. From scenic walks to snack stops and spontaneous sea dives (fully clothed, of course), here’s how we spent the perfect afternoon—with sand in our shoes and smiles on our faces.

The Marina Diaries: Palm Trees, Sandcastles, and One Soaked Toddler

Where the Vibes are Crisp and the Sand is Kid-Tested.

The Marina area is basically a cheat code to a perfect afternoon.

From the tram, it took us about 15 minutes to get there, and boom — clean beach, salty air, and enough space for the kids to dig seven unnecessary holes before face-planting into the sea fully clothed.

There’s a long, palm-lined promenade perfect for wandering, grabbing an iced drink, and pretending you’re in a chic travel vlog — even if you’re actually chasing a toddler with a spade.

There are a few cafes and takeaway spots (Pans & Company came in a clutch), and the beach is clean, chilled, and surprisingly quiet.

I read half a book (a miracle), while the boys attempted to build a sandcastle that looked suspiciously like an abstract sculpture.

10/10 vibes.
