This community offers visitors ample opportunities for recreation, sightseeing, and remote relaxation especially on its beautiful beaches.Watersports are plentiful on both the ocean-side and the sound-side of the village. Proximity to the convergence of the Labrador Current and the Gulf Stream result in the largest surf available on the East Coast.
