The beaches are just a short drive, just don't forget to pay for parking or you will get a boot on your car and a fine. Things to bring along for your stay: cozy blanket if you are a blanket person, hairdryer, coffee/ tea ( regular coffee pot) spices/oil/cooking spray, I don't think I saw any sheet pans, or pots, or frying...
