bañado por (el Mediterráneo)

Poetry & Literature
Hello. I can't think of a suitably poetic way of expressing this. The sentence is referring to a luxury residential area in Spain:
"Bañado por el Mediterráneo, es también un lugar para el disfrute del mar y los deportes náuticos, su Puerto Deportivo incluye una bella Marina adyacente."
Thanks for your help :)

Not terribly poetic I'm afraid but I think this is how it's normally expressed. Lots of google hits anyway.

Comment: "thanks everyone, this one seemed to roll off the tongue, and "shores" is slightly poetic, I would say."

bathed by (the Mediterranean Sea)
Judging by Google hits, this has been used many times before. I don't particularly like it either, but it works and this is what the writer wanted to say.

bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean
Nothing wrong with using "bathed" but the "waters of the Mediterranean" sounds a touch more poetic than the "Mediterranean Sea".
