Security and accessibility

There’s a fire extinguisher available on each floor. They have a total of three floors and a rooftop. They do not have an elevator. For people with accessibility concerns, request for a room on the ground floor and have your vehicle parked beside the reception area. The parking at the back will require you to take a few steep steps down.

Shorebreak hostel is not recommended for people with mobility concerns. You will need to go down the same stairway if you want to visit the shore, which is located at the opposite side of the road as this hostel is not located beside the shore.

You will have to cross the street and walk along a path, climb down yet another short but steep stairway before you can get to the shore.

For guests with mobility concerns, we suggest booking somewhere else right beside the shore.

Rooftop

After a tiring day at the beach, slow down and chill at their rooftop.
