Beach Front Stay

This hotel is right across the street from the beach. We parked the car and walked to the wharf, ate lunch, walked up Clifford Drive to view the beaches and lighthouse and walked to the wharf for dinner. The hotel staff were very accommodating. The bed was comfy. What a great place to stay!

There are cameras on the upper parking area yet they have signs that say they are not responsible for stolen things. We stayed there one nite before going to a campground nearby. When we went to leave the next morning we found that someone had gone thru my bins in the back of my truck and stolen multiple things. So… not safe. They did leave a joint on my step up so I guess the barter system is still alive and well. That little object did get thrown away.
