Perfect Location for the Bay and the Beach. Everyone has access to the Beach, but only a few have access to the Bay. The bay has so much to offer.

Why Kids Love It

The bay provides calmer water for the kids to play without having to be concerned about waves and under tow. So many marine life creatures for them to explore from star fish, hermit crabs, blue crabs, horseshoe crabs, scallops, fish, seahorses, blow fish, puffer fish and the list goes on. Not to mention the varieties that go well on the grill, along with sting rays and flounder.
