Planning a trip to Hillsboro Beach area — generally safe to walk/bike around?

Hey all!

Planning a trip to Hillsboro beach area in a few weeks, hotel on the beach. I always just make sure ahead of time: is this a generally safe area to walk and bike around to restaurants and such?

Thanks so much! Looking forward to it.

Also, recommendations on Thai, sushi, other local favorites? Ooh, and a good liquor store with a rum selection? Thanks again!
