Address

On the harbour at the mouth of the Love River, just east of Pier-2

A string of buildings clad in white hexagonal panels runs along the harbour: a whale-shaped concert hall, small reef-like pavilions and a tower at the end. After dark each panel lights up in colour and spills onto the water. You don't need a show ticket; the promenade and bridges are open to wander, which makes it the natural next stop after sunset at Pier-2.
