There are several wonderful public access points just a short walk or drive away, including Double Bluff Beach, Robinson Beach County Park, and Maxwelton Beach/Dave Mackie Park – Clinton Beach. While there’s a nearby pathway just three homes down, it’s part of a private community and reserved for neighborhood residents and their personal guests—unfortunately, not for vacation rentals. To maintain our strong relationships in the community, we kindly request that you use the nearby public entrance instead. It’s well worth the stroll!
