It's a beautiful, quiet little beach town, with some really decent surfing, and a few really great restaurants. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6351050/c2ca0f49-044e-43c7-a407-abbe1ccd12cb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1200&h=500&q=medium)

### Black Pearl Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is a very convenient place to stay for dining and the beach! Our room at the end of the building closest to the beach has an unbelievable view that we loved! The downside of the view is that the music from town can be very intrusive. Just bring earplugs and enjoy! The description of the hotel says they have a bar and breakfast. There is no bar and the breakfast is offsite. It’s only a block or so away so not too much of a hardship but you won’t be having breakfast in bed. We had to change our reservation by a day and while I had difficulty with Hotels.com, this property worked with us which was GREATLY appreciated! Really lovely and convenient place to stay!"
