This is a large, 12m long x 6m wide, compass rose set into the promenade behind the art deco arcade on Marine Parade. It has sixteen points with the four cardinal points made in a black stone, the next four points in a pinkish grey stone, and the eight minor points a pale grey stone edged with black. In the centre is a small white disc. The rose is just off perfect alignment with the sun dial at the south end of the gardens to the north, and in alignment with the arch in the arcade and the central flower bed by the sea shore. None of the cardinal points are named
