We just got back from A.C. I walked alone along the main drag and felt comfortable. I'm in my late 50's and my husband and I both really enjoyed the beach bar, Cannibals. The bartender was fun (I forget his name) and he mixed great drinks and terrific rum punches....they have entertainment. This guy plays everything (blues, oldies, rock, country) and takes requests. There are also some young people there but the 3 times I was there, it was an older group primarily. Also some locals. We also saw tourists who had returned just like we did. It is a happy place. It is right by the water taxi terminal.
