Spend a Day at Silver Strand State Beach
A day at the Silver Strand State Beach is a must, playing in the surf and searching for seashells.

In terms of safety, there are usually people around the convention center, so you most likely won't be alone. With that said, be sure to check the Events Calendar; it can get a little too crowded if there's a big conference in to...
