Sightseeing
Great for birdwatching and the occasional alligator. It’s located between two bodies of water that merged together to make this special place, this is no ordinary nature walk.

Active restaurant
One of those restaurants with plenty of things to do for every age, from playing in the ocean, beach volleyball, or sitting on the swings listen live music.
I love going to this beach and hanging out at this restaurant because it’s usually not as crowded as the other beaches and it’s more accessible to get to anytime of the day. There’s always plenty of shade from the structures nearby and it does not involve packing up the entire house to do an afternoon at the beach

Sting ray dinner time
There’s a little dive restaurant at 84 Bay Dr., Ingleside named Sunset Hideaway, and when the sun starts to set the stingrays pop up and start feeding and you can see them off the deck.
