One of the highlights of the neighborhood is Rocky Point Beach. The beach is 300 feet long and is located right near a park. On a nice summer day it's a blast to have a picnic in the designated area and then go fishing on the pier or hit the sailing center. If you have kids, there is even two separate playgrounds in the park. Also close by is Marley's Marina, which has a place where you can grill food and go swimming in the outdoor pool, which is heated so that it can be used all year long. Read Less
