We didn't actually spend too much time at this place since we were out and about but it was fairly quiet at night and the walk to the beach is not too far, I think it was about a 10 min walk. The closest beach that you can walk to is a dog beach (so there are a lot of dogs around) but just a little farther down (less than 5 min walk) is a really nice and not too crowded beach where there were surfers (in case you're interested in surfing). Peter had lots of beach chairs and other things available for our use which was great. We really enjoyed staying here.
