Parks & Nature
Rocky Point is a park, beach, walking trail, and fisherman's haven all in one. Just a quick walk down the road from the house, we love swimming at the sandy beach, having a lunch picnic, and taking our nephew to the playground. We typically go for a nice scenic walk everyday to the point to see the boats and fisherman.
