Paseo Marítimo de la Playa Poniente, Spain

This seafront promenade creates a colourful and practical route for pedestrians to navigate this beach. The many access routes down to the beach as well as the overhanging edges make the whole of this structure useful and elegant.


The shape of the waves arriving at the beach can clearly be seen mirrored in the form of the promenade.


The paving graduates through the spectrum creating zones of different colours which merge together gradually.


These colour zones make navigating the beach much easier, for example: friends can arrange to meet at a particular colour zone.


Overhanging areas can be used for shelter.


These overhangs are well lit at night, discouraging undesirable activities and providing illumination to the nearby beach area.
