This is the closest beach to the house. The beach near Commercial Street Pier has restaurants, live music, and tourist shops, but a more relaxed scene than the main beaches near Las Olas. If you are looking for an even quieter beach with no businesses, a local secret is the beach at Vista Park to the south.
