Overall
A great place to spend your vacation – long or short. The only thing that kept bothering me was the amount of cigarette butts scattered all around the place.
If you are planning out a family vacation, make sure your schedule does not overlap with any of the crazy spring break parties. A great number of lodging options are available - look for condos across the street from the beach with a view.
