Sightseeing
The swamp is a fun place to drink and dance. It's a bit farther than I prefer for a bar but I like to go here for the BEACH! Popular beach access point and there are restaurants for sustenance.

This beach is one of the closer beaches to the house and is a state park run venue so I believe they charge a small fee for access but it's clean and has bathrooms.
