Couples often find this area ideal for a relaxing seaside getaway. The hotels here often feature sea-view rooms and are just a short stroll from restaurants, cafes, and the town's key attractions like the Congress Theatre and the Towner Art Gallery. It's great for those who enjoy evening walks along the prom and easy access to dining.

For families, staying near Princes Park, slightly to the east of the Pier, is a good option. While still on the seafront, this area offers a bit more green space and access to the park's amenities, which include a boating lake and playgrounds.
