Majestic windswept live oak trees grace the interior. The island is also home to its very own lighthouse. There are many activities available right on the island, such as kayak and walking trails, scenic marsh walkway w/bird watching platform, skate park, playground, golf, mini golf, recreation center w/tennis courts, biking, and fishing! May - Aug. is turtle nesting season. The historic town of Southport where one can stroll the streets, browse antique shops and boutiques, or take a rest at the waterfront park is only 10 miles away.
