Abstract
This chapter by Simon Bell, Himansu S. Mishra, Anna Wilczynska and Jekaterina Balicka starts with an overview of seafronts, beaches, lakesides and promenades and a short history of how they have been developed and used for bathing and recreation, highlighting some famous historical and contemporary examples. The main risks and benefits for health and well-being associated with beaches are described. Some principles being adopted for their re-development, management and maintenance are summarised. Then a selection of innovative projects is introduced and each is evaluated and compared with the others against the set of criteria defined in Chapter 10.
