Loved the beach. It was not overpopulated, and was the only beach we found great shells at. Almost every evening we observed numerous turtles right off the beach. It is fenced, but there is a very short path that takes you right out to the beach. Loved being able to sit on the balcony and watch the waves. Located close to the aquarium, and just a short walk to the warf. Loved being able to walk to a few restaurants and get fresh seafood. Location is on the 3rd floor, but there are carts available so its easy to bring stuff up and down (especially if you take a trip to costco).
