Very quaint scenic marina with some small shops and restaurants on the water. You can spend a few hours here just walking along the dock, have lunch, browse the shops and drink a beer outside on the patio. Don't forget to checkout the wide array of boats, some quite interesting.

I walked the breakwater Easter weekend and it was lovely. Very cool. There is scuba diving available on the break water as well. Wish there was a garbage can/ Recycling at some point on the breakwater. The breakwater restaurant had coffee to go by donation which was nice.

Docked here for the night and the folks were extremely friendly. The dock is very clean with flower boxes and many bird houses at each docking area. The blue matins nesting there were beautiful. A little cafe is there serving breakfast and lunch. Showers are clean. The little museum is really nice and they have a captains quarters which shows the size of the bed. Way to small for me and I am 5’7”. Highly recommend.
