>Most cities play up their coast line
Eh, I disagree. You don't see Houston or Tokyo trying to upsell on their coast-line. I think tourist cities play it up, but major cities that exist where they are because of their ports don't push tourists towards it because bustling ports are almost by definition disgusting.
The only exception I can think of is San Francisco, but that's by nature of its unique peninsula geography. You can just go to the west side to find decent beaches. The Port of San Francisco (east side) is still gross. (to me... there is a lot of tourists piers there I guess)
