The area offers an outdoor lover's paradise with unlimited opportunities for boating, sailing, fishing swimming, scuba diving, water skiing, camping, and fun family recreation opportunity throughout the whole year. A bicycle/pedestrian walking path connects the camp ground, marina, parks, beach, and the community's business district.
