Couldn’t really see beach from Hotel but it’s only a block away and they have bikes you can use to cruise the beach bikeways. Was a lot of fun and enjoyed the location. Had a beach basket with towels and a frisbee, could also get cornhole to take to beach. Really quite fun and the place was simple yet very clean.
