You can go north and south on the road that DVB is located on and find beaches to use if you have a vehicle, but that really stinks for you. I once went down to beach that was a little south of DVB just to walk with hubby and the further we walked, we found big nice shells. It seemed like the beaches were deserted though. I don't remember how far Captain Hirams (not sure of the spelling) is from your location, but if you have a vehicle and looking for a good local place to eat, check it out.
