Great place on what I call the north end of da beach . Downtown would be the south end. I would tell you NOT to walk the beach at night unless in a large group. Lots will responed that they do it all the time but as A first timer walk da beach during the day and street at night. As for the bike it would be tough, the taxi rides are part of the adventure. Leave the bling at home pack less clothes bring more cash. Limo Mon Soon Come !!
