The Batalia Harbor rests between river and sea, and is a crossroads for ships coming and going. The bay's rugged shoreline consists of a rather large shipyard on one side and a fishing pier on the other. People often walk along the bulwarks but very few parts of the shore actually consist of sand and shells. The current is too dangerous to allow swimmers so close to the Naulin River. Beaches can be found much further across the bay on the outside of the city, but even near the ocean it can be too risky.
