“Oceanfront” usually means on the sand side of Coastal Highway with beach access measured in steps—not merely a partial ocean glimpse. “Ocean view” can mean a side angle or higher-floor peek with more road noise tradeoffs.
Ask about construction, pool hours, and elevator counts in older towers. Photos hide wind and tram noise.
