4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Nice city during the day. Lots of people (including locals) think it isn’t safe in the evening. The beach was pleasant.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Pelliington Bay is a real gem!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

It’s a quiet beach town with cute restaurants & a low key vibe. In addition to the area next to the B&B I’d recommend checking out Stanley street for delicious restaurants like Kindred Kitchen and Upstairs.

3/5 - Okay
