Details: With the south shore eroding at an average rate of around 15 feet annually and as much as 50 per year in some places — not in this area — 6 Walbang Ave. really is the kind of beach house a person needs these day. About a five-minute walk to the beach is plenty close enough to hear the ocean even on a calm day and smell it all the time. The house is beautiful and simple and not too big, but the location really is the best part.
