Portsmouth Beach, Roseau

Advantages: Has a beach and lots to do
Disadvantages: The beach is shingle, not sand

...1 Introduction Portsmouth is an island city on the south coast of England, is located opposite the Isle of Wight and is between Gosport and Hayling Island. The city has rich history with the dockyard having played a vital role in the navy for hundreds of years. Southsea, the southern region of Portsmouth, is a typical British seaside resort with a long shingle beach, piers and other attractions. I was born in Portsmouth and have lived here for 20 years, so I have experienced Portsmouth's leisure attractions on many different occasions and at different ages.

...a bath, watch TV and look inside the fridge without moving, but at last I was a bachelor of independent means, and I just had to sit back on my futon/bed and wait for the young ladies to beat my door down, preferably from the outside.

Advantages: Great views, modern design, brilliant attraction for a day out.
Disadvantages: Possibly the price if you aren't a resident.

...Having moved to Portsmouth within the last year, it has become my home from home for an endless list of reasons. This beautiful coastal City draws in thousands of tourists, and looking around it is easy to see why. Well maintained, planted gardens. Open green spaces.

And of course, Portsmouths newest attraction. The Spinnaker Tower. All of the latter features listed above make up the GunWharf Quays complex to the West of the Island. A great place both day and night. Like all large projects, Wembley Stadium, Bath Spa....Spinnaker Tower was rather late in opening.
