Many cities have redeveloped their waterfront areas over the past several decades. It's easy to think about which work best, but I'm curious... What do you think is the best TIDAL waterfront that you have seen?

Of the larger cities --- New York built on islands both large & small and San Francisco built on a peninsula come to mind. Both cities have both bay and ocean front. Maybe also Boston with its harbor and islands? Also I am not sure if its TIDAL but Chicago has a very nice shorefront.
Baltimore did a good job on there waterfront, they just got to work on the rest of the city now. Also I was reading that Newark is gonna redevelop there waterfront on the Passaic river, hopefully that actully goes through
Baltimore's inner harbor is nice. I really like Southern (and most of Western) Manhattan, especially around Battery park. Boston's is nice near the FiDi and the North End (also Fort Point area) and the harbor islands are a major asset. It would be tough to argue against Miami Beach too? This is a tough question for me. Right now off the top of my head, I'd say New York City (esp. when you include Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty plus the views of the VZ Bridge and the Jersey City Skyline).
Empire-Fulton Ferry and Brooklyn Bridge Park in DUMBO are coming along nicely. It's a great and scenic place to lay out on the lawn to take in the view or read on a sunny day.
Coney Island can be great, but at this point it's a bit mediocre and its future is pretty much up in the air.
Can anyone think of any projects (parks, embankments, other public/private spaces) where the water is interacted with in any of these places? The general consensus seems to be limiting interactions between users and water in most waterfronts I've come across. If anyone knows of any interesting projects, please let me know.

NYC has water taxis, ferries, several beaches, kayaking (the Hudson around Inwood, Governor's Island, East River, Gowanus canal, and probably other places), sailing, motorboats, river side concerts/screenings. People also fish, too, and they seem to be taking home the catch--not so great an idea).
