Doug’s Surf bungalow is 1/2 a block to the beach. You can walk down and explore the tide pools or walk a little further down past the pier to the local beach. Unfortunately, with Covid 19, the beaches weren’t “open”. You could walk and swim but no sitting. We Spent a lot of time at the local Dog Beach, where our furry companions could run freely with their friends. We were close to lots of shops and restaurants. The place itself was really cozy and clean. We were glad for the fans because it could get a bit stuffy, but with the fans and cool breeze through the windows it was perfect. We would definitely stay here again.
