North Beach draws travelers who want the open, uncrowded stretch of sand and the low-rise, art deco streetscape of Ocean Terrace without the density of the areas to the south. The pace is quieter, the beach is wider, and 71st Street puts cafes, groceries, and transit within a short walk of most hotels here.
