Other things to note:
Life here moves at the speed of a sea breeze. Bay Avenue—with zero cross-streets—is custom-built for peaceful morning walks, ocean-breeze bike rides, and sunset rollerblading (definitely pack your bikes!). Nature surrounds you on all sides: catch dolphins playing off the shoreline in late spring and summer, witness the world-famous horseshoe crab spawning, or spot magnificent Snowy Owls resting here in the winter. For an up-close look at our rich local ecosystem, head down to the DuPont Nature Center or charter a day on the water at Cedar Creek Marina.
