“It was right on the beach with amazing views and the location in town was convenient.”

From the reviews

Right on the beach. I went there for a beach trip with my church and it was fun. We were there a camp called BigStuf. We got to meet some of the band members for the camp. The rooms were big enough to fit up to 6 people. The beds were somewhat comfortable. Slept on the side where air conditioning was blowing at me.

★★★★☆ — Emma, Jul 2026

The location is amazing. The rooms are older and you can hear everything. We got the 1 bed room with the sea view. This is a type of hotel you can’t watch what you want to on the tv, but I paid for the view and didn’t look at reviews before I came. It’s okay for what I paid.

Getting married at Boardwalk Beach Hotel & Convention Center

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
