This is a great part of the island, tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Its a great spot to catch a great sunset over the marsh. there are some cool old homes in the area to check out. The green Victorian is the Pippy Longstocking house and the neighboring house with the blue roof was a brothel according to local lore.

Fun beach on the south end of the island where you can drive your 4x4. Lots of fishing to be done in this area as well. You can choose to go to the Atlantic side for more wave and surf action or stay on the inlet side for nice calm waters and fishing.

Often overlooked because it's in a plaza next to the gas station. This place has been on the island for over 20 years. The pizza has a thin crust and you can buy a whole pizza or by the slice. They serve beer and soda. The salads are fresh and generous. My favorite is the white pizza! They feature local artists on the walls.

The Saturday Farmers Market on Center Street

Every Saturday the Farmers Market is open from 9am-1pm and on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays there is an adjacent Artists Market. I highly recommend the guacamole and all the ceviche's, Bacon Farms Lettuce and Salad Dressing, Ganas Pecans (Praline and Bourbon are my favorites) and there are multiple delicious bakery items. Try the organic Strawberry Chocolate Chip Scones! The market gets better all the time!

I have not had the opportunity to dine here yet. It has limited seating and reservations are needed. They are usually booked out by 2-4 weeks. I hear that the food here is great and it stays busy. They specialize in Spanish and Portuguese food. I hear the paella is the best!
