Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Arrive early to receive your parking permit and beach tags, and use the heated pool or changing rooms before check-in.

  • 02

    Request a first-floor room if wheelchair access is needed, as ramps are available.

  • 03

    Plan to walk everywhere; the location directly behind the boardwalk and beach means the car can stay parked for the whole stay.

  • 04

    Return beach tags to the front desk at checkout to avoid a $25 fee.
