So that's exactly what Cardiff Festival aims to bring.
Over the summer months, 300 tonnes of sand will be utilised to create Cardiff's Urban Beach - an artificial beach attraction on the vast Roald Dahl Plass outside the magnificent Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay.
The feature will run from July 27th to September 1st, offering a free day out in the sun to residents and visitors to the Welsh capital. The family friendly beach will see a shallow water play area and sand pit for younger children, deck chairs beneath giant parasols and space for volleyball and beach football for some sporty fun in the sunshine.
Sponsored by First Choice and Cardiff Airport, the beach will be erected in Cardiff Bay's Roald Dahl Plass, a space utilised for large events such as this, which will also host the Welsh Food and Drink Festival two weeks before the urban beach opens. Cardiff will join cities such as Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen to provide visitors with an urban beach where they can soak up the sun.
Entertainment at the urban beach will include live music and dance, with traditional seaside rides offering more fun. Everything will be catered for in Cardiff's beautiful bay area, with Mermaid Quay and the Wales Millennium Centre already providing first class amenities. Cardiff Festival will see more than 20 other events around the city during summer.
