You will have to use the beach from 11th Bay and down to enjoy the beach.
Please be aware that the impacted section of the beach will be closed during work hours but will reopen in the evenings and on weekends. Alternate access to the beach is available via 11th View St and other nearby entry points.

Right on the Bay

There are many positives about this unit. Parking was good and the location facing the bay was very nice. You can see ships come and go all day. There are ceiling fans in every room and the kitchen is nicely stocked. The downside is the neighborhood. I wouldn’t have felt too safe walking around. No restaurants or grocery stores are walkable that we saw. Another downside is the furniture (except the beds) is not really comfortable. There are only 3 spots at the dining table and 3 lounging spots. All that said, I would rent it again as it worked for the two of us.
