“This family-centric coastal precinct certainly earns its reputation, though proximity to the airport means potential noise. Beach access is a major draw, along with plentiful activities geared towards children. Overall, it's a solid choice for those prioritizing recreation and convenience, but pack earplugs if you're sensitive to sound.”
