The Boardwalk located beside the fishing pier has great restaurants such as the Black Pearl, Crab Trap & Floyd's. For nightlife in the area you will find The Swamp & Howl at the Moon. The Boardwalk has several sand volleyball courts along the beach. There is also a playground here behind the Crab Trap.
