The 115-room Golden Sands is a beachfront value hotel with underwhelming, sometimes dated decor (think patterned bedspreads) but clean digs and family-friendly, resort-style amenities. Rooms are spacious with comfy beds, sleeper sofas, and narrow balconies with ocean views, plus nice extras like mini-fridges, microwaves, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Larger family-friendly rooms and rooms with kitchenettes are also available. The property has an attached restaurant, a hotel-owned pier with a tiki bar and live music on summer weekends, indoor and outdoor pools, and a small gym, though no breakfast is offered on-site. The town's main restaurants and boardwalk are about a mile away; travelers who want to be closer to the action might consider the SeaWitch Motel.
