I love the cool, laid back, family vibe here! Beach, pier, restaurants, gift shops all within walking distance to my hotel. Very friendly feel! Felt completely comfortable walking around by myself without fear of bodily harm..hahaha. Sidewalks have beach theme mosaics embedded periodically, benches are surfboards. Weather was much cooler than expected for late July, a nice surprise. Was disappointed that the original Sand Castle event had been severely downsized since I last visited. Fewer competitors in the sand castle competition during this visit, nothing on the beach, no parades or food truck as in the past.
Williams,
