Did you know that figs don’t just grow on trees around here? This paper fig shell is one of the treasures washed in from the recent low that pushed up from warmer waters (I believe that’s how all the Portuguese Man o’ Wars got here too). While NC is within its “normal” range, they aren’t common this far north. Keep your eyes open while on the beach, and even though it’s really hard to do if something is living in a shell you find, please be kind and return it to the sea instead of taking it home.

If you haven't tried our dessert tray yet...you're missing out. Made with homemade deserts every day, you will surely be satisfied.

With the beach right at your fingertips, this family-friendly home is exactly what you need for that much-needed beach-cation! Take in unobstructed beach and ocean views from your private deck while having lunch. If the beach is too crowded or is not your cup of tea, you can always visit the community outdoor pool for a refreshing midday splash. Then, rinse off the sand and chlorine in the outdoor shower and come back home to relax after a fun-filled day.
