We booked a stay at Beach Acres because we had never been to see the Atlantic Ocean. The advertisement says that the "beach" is only 3/4 mile away. However, this is not the right beach! It is all rocks and no beach. Wells Beach is accessible by the trolley. We made reservations for a site that we expected to look like the pictures but were given a spot in an open field, which was poorly marked, and very buggy, this was the only site in this field.

We made reservations for a site that we expected to look like the pictures but were given a spot in an open field, which was poorly marked, and very buggy, this was the only site in this field. I backed into a fence while trying to adjust the camper to the correct spot, after several minutes, trying to figure out where we were supposed to be. This site was a good walk away from the pool and the showers. The night that we went over to use the showers, we found that they cost $.25 per 6 minutes. We had to walk all the way back to the camper to scrounge up quarters. We felt that a campground this pricey should not charge for showers...and we were not happy to be placed on a spot that seemed so disconnected from the rest of the campground. The area is nice, but this campground was not the right place for us to stay. Oh, and they accept CASH only...big red flag for the future!
