On a very hot day, yes there will be people wading/swimming in the water. generally, the bow is tad cold to have a swim when the temp is below 25 degrees Celsius.
This beach is now where you take your toddler.......lol.
I don't really agree about them restoring more of the islands natural vegetation. They should have a few minor spots of restored area, but to cordon it off seems strange. I was hoping to see a very open, urban design where you could literally see from end to end of the island. I don't think people realize just how massive this thing is.
I am really pushing for something more urban. Tall vegetation everywhere is just not attractive for many people. I will reserve judgement for later because I have not seen the design yet.

I hear you about the urban concept, but it's important to keep in mind this type of project isn't always for people.
