Our Beacon Cove Community
Live amongst the discerning and astute few with 481 houses showcasing approximately forty state-of-the-art designs, all custom-built to the most exacting standards, to suit the ever-changing demands of today’s families—from a small selection of low-maintenance one or two-bedroom homes to the luxuriously appointed four and five-bedroom villas, with the majority boasting three light-and-bright bedrooms spanning over two storeys, two spacious living areas, two modern bathrooms and a single multi-purpose garage with remote control. There are also a number of three-level home offices equipped with a dual entry—perfect for consultant professionals who operate a business from home.
Apartments at Beacon Cove are sure to command envy and attention as their five towers are perched right on the beach with nothing but picture-perfect white sand between you and the sparkling waves. Many of the units showcase either water views or the city skyline and some small number simply enjoy both!
Station Pier
The first point of arrival for thousands of immigrants in the days gone by.

Many of the world’s premier cruise ships and ocean liners also berth here including the spectacular Voyager of the Seas, Celebrity Solstice and the Pacific liners, amongst numerous others.
Restaurants
