Go to Ralli Quay, located on the other side of the river from the People's History Museum and opposite the Dockyard Bar. There are steps down to the quayside in front of the office building with a brick façade and blue windows at the end of the silver footbridge; access by road is easier via the Bridge Street side of Stanley Street. The nearest parking is at the NCP New Bailey.
