Boaters delight in the fact that they can tie-up their boat right at the home. Using the community boat ramp makes this easy. Boat, kayak or fish right from the property.

Beyond the home, adventure awaits. Explore the nearby Island Nature Trails for serene walks through coastal landscapes, catch waves at Assateague Beach where wild ponies roam, or bring the family to Maui Jack's Waterpark for splashing fun on warmer days.
