The view anywhere from the deck, living room and bedroom at Sea Forever to the Atlantic Ocean and miles of beach is breathtaking. The beach is routinely "re-nourished", with City access walkways placed every couple of blocks. This year the closest sandy beach access is at Sandfiddler or by the pier.
