Compass Cay is also perfectly situated for outdoor enthusiasts.

The canalfront location is ideal for crabbing and offers direct access to the sound. With amazing sunsets and beautiful skies that you won't be able to get elsewhere, you'll find endless opportunities for outdoor fun and exploration. The nearby beach just a short drive away adds to the allure, providing the perfect spot for sunbathing, swimming, and beachcombing.
Quiet Community With Ample Attractions
Colington Harbor is a beautiful, secluded island community offering amazing views and ample opportunity for crabbing, fishing, kayaking, and an array of other watersports! Situated about 15 minutes back from the main bypass, you are never far from something fun to explore or something good to eat. Try a tasty slice from Colington Pizza (they even deliver!) or sample a crab benedict and mimosa for Sunday brunch at The Saltbox Café. Colington Café is another great place to enjoy the local fare, especially if you're celebrating a birthday or anniversary. If you enjoy cooking at home, stop by Billy's Seafood Market for a fine selection of fresh seafood including everything from shrimp and oysters to mahi-mahi and tuna. While you're out exploring, be sure to stop by the Wright Brothers National Memorial where you can experience an interactive museum about the nation's history of aviation and enjoy a 360-degree view of the surrounding beach as you stand beside the famous monument. There's also a great public bike and walking path nearby along with dozens of shops and other great activities to ensure your vacation is a blast!
Beach Access: 10 Minute Drive/4.5 Miles to Ocean Bay Blvd. Beach Access with handicap parking, handicap ramp, wooden walkway, bathhouse, lifeguard, and showers.
