Directly across the street, you’ll find popular dining spots like Jazzy’s Mainely Lobster and Pig & Whistle, while an array of boutique shops, bars, and surf rental outlets are just two blocks away.
For adventure seekers, the nearby Banana River offers endless opportunities for kayaking, dolphin and manatee sightings, or summer bioluminescent tours.
