Stanley Bridge Beach Walk

Stanley Bridge is one of Alexandria's most recognizable modern landmarks — a striking suspension bridge arcing over a curved beach lined with cafés and apartment buildings. This walk covers the beach and promenade area around it, a genuinely photogenic stretch of coast that's become one of the most popular spots in the city for both visitors and locals.

Beyond the views, the surrounding neighborhood has a lively, contemporary beach-town energy that contrasts with the more historic corniche further west — a good stop if you want a sense of how Alexandrians actually spend a day at the beach.

Best visited in late afternoon or around sunset, when the bridge is lit and the beach is at its liveliest.
