-Spend a day at sea: Take a guided charter tour with trips that focus on deep sea fishing, fly fishing, and the area's history.

-Join The Bridge Street Festival: This popular annual event centers around pure beach fun, and closes off traffic across Bridge Street, creating a pedestrian walk with artists, entertainers, and merchants.
