The marina area is busy year-round, but it truly comes alive during the summer and the holiday season. If you are visiting in December, the entire harbor is decorated with beautiful lights, and it serves as the main viewing area for the famous New Year's Eve fireworks. During the summer, the long days mean evening sunset cruises are very popular, offering a chance to see the city lights from the water. Always check the live feed before heading down to see how busy the ticket kiosks are or to just enjoy the view of the boats bobbing in the water.
