Route 213

Route 213 is a long sandy beach that joins Pastoria City to Valor Lakefront, home to Hotel Grand Lake and Dr. Footstep's house. In the story you chase a Team Galactic grunt along the beach after the explosion at the Great Marsh, and Looker joins the hunt. Much of the shoreline is only reachable with Surf, and the clifftops need Rock Climb.
