The 600-metre waterfront promenade fills with locals, families, and kite flyers in late afternoon. Food vendors operate along the entire stretch, selling kottu roti, jaggery treats, and sugarcane juice. The setting sun colours the Indian Ocean gold while the sea breeze cools the city. Best for first-time visitors. It takes 1.5 hours and is rated easy.
