We are a walk to the beach and a walk to the waterway. The beach is visible from the road and a great location (74th st Access area) with parking. We throw our chairs in the truck or car and in 3 blocks we are there. If you bring a boat just take it down to the public landing on 55th St and head out for a spin or sail on the waterway or even out to the ocean. Rentals are everywhere. Great restaurants nearby.
Get your own food from Food Lion less than a mile down the road! Bring your bikes - super place for a morning ride and no traffic. Mornings on the porch are delightful - bring your coffee and a good book. Visit Southport town in the evening - beautiful quaint old town with great restaurants and seafood - try Provisions or theFrying Pan for some great crab cakes!
Want to do some skydiving? Just a couple of miles up the road there's a small airport that specializes in them.
