Outstanding view from the oceanfront room at the Wyndham Hotel.Large and small hotels are located along the booming Atlantic Avenue among the homes and construction projects. We stayed at The Wyndham located on the sand, the Atlantic Ocean nearly at our door.
It's a great place to be inspired by nature at the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
