For a very short walk the beach is ok but bring a good flashlight.
The road is better and I would use the sidewalk as much as possible.
Red plate is always a good idea. As you meet taxi men, if you get a good vibe, get their card or number.
Then you can call your driver when you're ready to go. Always negotiate price in advance. And keep in mind that prices are higher at night.
Enjoy your trip, you may never go back to the AI!
