Activities
We love spending as much time as we can at the beach while we're here. There's nothing like walking as far as you want on the sugar soft sand or playing in the beautiful, clear water. The sunsets are absolutely amazing so we try to be on the beach each day during sunset time. We haven't tried it yet but there are companies that will set up a bonfire on the beach for you so you can relax after the sun goes down and make s'mores. Our son loves skimboarding and learned how to do it right on the beach here. Fishing is another favorite pastime for many and we'd like to learn more about the local fishing. Here are a few things we have tried when we're not on the beach that we have loved:
