A wonderful place to spend an afternoon strolling through the streets visiting the local shops and restaurants, while taking in the breathtaking beauty of some of the massive oak trees scattered around. Plus, the water views near the docks during sunrise and sunset are spectacular. Great place to drop your bait, wait and enjoy the day until it becomes quite late. Plus,
