I have stayed on the beach and across the road before.
I like across the road.
Especially if the eating area across the road is raised up and you can look out over the Morass.
Sure, looking at the beach for breakfast is nice, but it will still be there when I finish eating and i am ready for cocktails.
Also you can switch up breakfast places whenever you like.
Maybe that's why I never get beach gravity.
I can always find a seat or lounge chair if I want to sit down.
Buy a drink and/or meal and use the chairs.
Staying across the road has made me wander up and down the road and up and down the beach.
I also don't like the same people staring at me all day and all afternoon.
When I have had enough, i can disappear across the road.
Across the road has big swimming pools and more privacy.
It also has helped me learn the rout taxi way of life.
