Dinghy dock has reopened after hurricane damage. The park is lovely with a renovation of the spring and swimming pool. Several restaurants and shops in easy walking distance.

There is a dinghy dock at the boat ramp. A shopping center is across the street with a Laundromat, Dollar store and a few fast food restaurants. A grocery store is on the highway 1.25 miles to the north. We rode out a 30 knot thunderstorm from the west with no problem, but it is very open to fetch from the north to east. There is quite a bit of highway noise.
