Introduction:

Ever been on a giant blimp so big it had its own ponds?  There are skyscrapers and a highway up here, too, of course, but check out the Caribbean-colored bodies of water and their smooth beaches of pink, tan, and white sands.  Shallow enough to wade all the way across, they’re the perfect place to float, cool off, and check out the view high above our city’s perimeter wall.

Dimensions & Layouts:

The biggest of Cloud City II‘s beaches are those around its 16 biggest ponds.

• ~66′ wide (from outer to inner edge)
• each around a ~30,790 sq.ft. circular pond, each of those ponds in a ring-formation between Cloud City II’s GAH-section and skydiving-edge
• ~54,739 sq.ft. of sand around each of those ponds
• very gradual slope down toward the pond’s surface

The thousands of other beaches are all nearly or less than ~66′ across.

• ~3,421 sq.ft. per sandy area
• outside many of the few-story surface-buildings and non-spire high-rises; the shorter skyscrapers of Cloud City II
• ~250/octant of the ring-shaped area between the GAH-section and skydiving-edge; ~20 along/near that edge, by 12 or 13 toward the GAH
• not always connected to a pond or other water feature
• very gradual or no slope for these
