SInce we have pretty much given up on the beach resorts and now do only a cliff resort year after year, the beach has become a somewhat distant memory.

We are putting one beach day on the itinerary this year. Any regular cliff vacationers that are willing to give some ideas on where to go for the day on the beach? Wife has one two requirements, shade and hopefully a good vendor traffic. We tried the boardwalk place (the exact name escapes me) last year, it was ok. When I'm not staying somewhere, I kind of feel bad sitting in front of their hotel.

I'm contemplating renting a room at one of the spots, just so she has a place to use the facilities in peace, and a bit of AC if necessary.
