A little bit more of a hike to get to so plan ahead
You can walk to Beach Access 12 from the house. You will go over the bridge but there is a walking path. Should be about a 10-15 minute walk.

Amazing scenery but a little tricky to get to. You may have to get in the water to your knees to get here. Be prepared to have super painful feet or just wear good water shoes. And it can be slippery. If you are feeling adventurous and the tide is good we highly recommend this.

Pizza Chef
5501 Fruitville RoadA very tasty pizza
One of my all time favorite places. Fresh, imported olive oil, delicious wine and beers. They have painting / wine drinking and cooking classes from time to time as well. It’s so close - check them out, friendly staff - stop in and try some wine samples and olive oil samples - somehow their olive oil with orange extract got rid of the itch from noceeum (tiny mosquitoes) bites on my legs too. Couldn’t believe it.
