neutral  Carol Gullidge: yes to your first option, but definitely "no" to the last 2! options 2 and 3 suggest that you seem to be veering towards translating. I'm not sure that you can propose 2 such different things in 1 answer, but if you plump for option 1, then I'll agree!

agree  T.P. Nina Liberman: I agree with your first option. Foreign visitors looking for that place will hardly find it if they ask for "Crabs Promenade".
