The Oyster Box is the one at 2 Lighthouse Road, with the lighthouse in the view, 86 rooms that are not a single repeated key, and a curry buffet sitting next to the Grill Room and high tea in the Palm Court. The hotel has been on this sand since 1954, and the airport is about 20 minutes, which is why people use it as a first or last night as well as a holiday.
