Beach Access

We are sorry that the stairways going down to the ocean/beach from our access points have been damaged and are not expected to be repaired until July 1, 2025.

Beach access is available during low tide by walking to the far northern tip of our parking lot (Austin Building) and following the sign to Driftwood Beach. Guests can also drive a short distance to the nearby public beach, Oceanview Beach Park.

Beach chairs and umbrellas are available on our upper sandy beach. Guests can also enjoy our large swimming pool with loungers, umbrellas, and a sun deck at Villas by the Sea Resort.
