This area stretches along the coastline and is lined with hotels, holiday lets, and restaurants, all offering easy access to the beach. You're footsteps away from the sand and the sound of the waves. It's great for couples looking for a romantic getaway, with many properties providing ocean views and direct access to evening strolls along the shore. > > > A few blocks inland, the streets become more residential and offer a more tranquil setting. This area still provides convenient access to the beach, usually within a 5-10 minute walk, but without the constant activity of the promenade. Families often find this area appealing due to its quieter environment and the presence of more spacious holiday homes. ### When is the best time to go to Lower Ocean? > These periods offer pleasant weather, with warm temperatures and less chance of rain, making it ideal for enjoying the coastline and outdoor activities. You'll also find the area less crowded than during the peak summer months, which means a more relaxed experience and potentially better value on accommodation and activities. > > > For those looking to enjoy the beach and water sports, the summer months of July and August are also excellent, though the area will be at its busiest. The ocean temperatures are at their warmest, great for swimming, surfing, and paddleboarding. > > > If you're interested in whale watching, the migration seasons are worth considering. Grey whales can be spotted heading south from December to February and returning north from March to May. ### Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia? ### How can I save on a Lower Ocean hotel booking with Expedia? ### How much is the nightly rate at a Lower Ocean hotel? ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels and earn double points when you book on the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
