Sandcastle is situated in a coastal town, close to a lovely beach where families, dogs, cyclists, surfers, anglers, swimmers and joggers enjoy outdoor activities. We are situated in a residential neighborhood which is popular with families because of its distance to the beach. The neighborhood is friendly and we respect not only people, visitors, joggers, cyclists and children, but also owners walking pets in our streets. Children often cycle and skateboard in the neighborhood, and apart from the occasional school bus, traffic is mostly cars. The closes shop is about 1.3km from us.
