There is an outdoor shower and a large deck where you can listen to the waves, birds and boats out on the water. Continue walking toward the Sound and cross over a boardwalk along a deeded path to the expansive, sandy and private beach at Dog Fish Bar. Great for fishing, swimming, paddling, and soaking in the sunset. Simplicity at its best! This is a special treasure for anyone who longs for returning to nature and a simple escape.
