It was on the board walk excellent trails for bikes, scooters, and walking. Great food and shopping stores within walking distance, also the aquarium is a must see walking distance, but don't forget about two harbors Betty's pies awesome place to eat home made pies and regular food awesomely priced. The absolute awesomest part was being walking distance of the ships coming into the harbor and seeing great sunrises off the balcony and ships coming into the harbor. Pretty good free continental breakfast. North Shore train ride was also fun and an awesome railroad museum.
