Marvelous & Flourish Sunrise View Pier is the best place for breathtaking views both day and night. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the AURORA.

The beach and surrounding area are great. The newly renovated Pier is popular with fishermen, strollers, and youngsters jumping into the sea. The Lifeguards are friendly and patrol the area. There are plenty of parking options and shops, cafes, and restaurants are just a short stroll away. The shallow water is perfect for young children. The beach is clean with soft sand, but make sure to bring your own shade.
