I did not check on whereabouts of Beach Road. I assumed it would be near a beach, but no it was on the main south/north road with heavy trucks passing all night. Not much sleeping done. Also breakfast promised, and indeed was on their street advertising, but when I asked it, was no we don't do breakfast.
