Pros and Cons of Staying in the Beach Cities
- Close to the beach, with laid-back oceanside ambiance.
- Location is not central, so depending on where else you want to go, it could be a long distance away.
- Lodging can be more expensive than other areas, especially if you see the water from it, but most hotels do not charge for parking.
- Cooler than inland and less smog, but prone to be foggy all day long in June and into July.
