Description
The Bay Shores Peninsula boasts that it’s just 75 paces from the beach. Indeed, this friendly, affordable hotel is tucked on the narrow peninsula between the ocean and the bay. It’s an unassuming spot, everything you’d want a beach hotel to be, with a rooftop sun deck, sun-kissed style, and friendly touches like fresh-baked cookies and a library of beach reads. From $139 a night.
