Where residents swim

If a search for "swimming near Riviera" brought you here: start with your building's pool. The canal that runs alongside the development carries boat and water-taxi traffic — worth a walk, not a swim.

Your building's pool

Covers most people's swimming, more than the canal or a beach trip does. See the pools page for what's typical and how it differs by block.

The canal

Active transit for boats and water taxis, not a bathing area — whatever the marketing renders suggest. Treat the canal walkway as a place to walk and run.

The coast

Kite Beach, La Mer, and JBR sit roughly 20 to 30 minutes away by car, depending on traffic and which part of Riviera you're starting from. There's no direct transit route, so a car or taxi is the realistic way to get there.
