With summer on the sphere, it is time to put away the jumpers, dust off those flip-flops and get the most of the evening time. But for those who dwell in a city carrying on with sticky travel and don't have enough air conditioning, urban summer dwelling is usually a letdown.

Yet a few city-dwellers have an option to escape-a specially developed urban beach. In the French capital city of Paris, a beach stretching two miles is created by bringing in sand; in Sydney, Bondi Beach is easy to access and in Miami, beach life is attractive.
