Local Website:
"you’ll find a lovely shopping and dining center that backs up to a marina. You’ll know you’ve found it when you happen upon the giant metal jumping marlin fountain at its entrance.
This is a lovely place to end a beach day, with a variety of things to see and do. From upscale boutiques to restaurants and a spa, dolphin cruises or ‘paint-your-own’ souvenirs, spend a morning or afternoon exploring away from the shore."
