If you go South from the bottom of the McBean Steps there are several places you could go to:

The Spa
(a theatre and entertainment centre)
The South Bay Pool
(a seawater bathing pool)
The Black Rocks
(an area of stones and rocks, a favourite place for going shrimping)
The Italian Gardens
(a series of beautifully landscaped gardens reaching up to the Esplanade)
The Clifftop
(beyond the Italian Gardens, an area of gorse and scrub reaching towards Cornelian bay and beyond)
