The Atlantic Ocean has always been a greenish brown color. It is not dirty (like other reviewers have said). Not every beach has crystal blue waters, just a heads up: "The Atlantic off the East Coast of the United States usually appears green. This is due to the presence of algae and plant life. The ocean may appear gray under... More

Beach was clean but water looked dirty. It was rainy and cold, but we walked the board walk and I shopped. It was too cold to go in the water. The board walk shops had a lot of the same items. I was looking for a bracelet but I was unable to find something that I liked,

As a family person sometimes to crowded. And younger crowd. I prefer more of a night life with adult crowd and more variety. But continue to go back. Like the beach and boardwalk but think rates are high when you do research you could stay in Florida Cheaper!!

Take your morning coffee and be on the lookout for the dolphin schools. I missed the sunrise, but the dolphins and fishermen were very entertaining!

My mom and I spent afternoons hunting for shells. Had a blast and even caught a starfish. The beaches were clean and not crowded.

This was my third trip to the Casinos in a short time. On this occasion I had my handicapped elder mother with me. We had to walk the entire Casino to find slot machines as most of them were closed down and or blocked off to be repaired? Changed? I'm not real sure. She being in the walker and me... More

It was not a very warm weekend to walk on the beach this year, but we love to walk on the beach whenever we are here for any reason.
