Good local seafood spot. The wait can be long during peak season so show up early. Enjoy the view while sipping drinks from the outside bar. Waiting can be half the fun out on the docks. Very close and less than 5-minute walk.

Fun walk-up sno-cone dessert location beside the pier that is convenient for a cool treat while enjoying a beach day. Families on a budget may find this to be a better choice for a frozen dessert than Beach Bunny Icecream.

Fun frisbee disc golf course nearby. 9 hole course that could be played with regular frisbees or regulation discs. Mostly shaded. I would avoid in the late evenings to reduce the mosquitos and "no-see-ums".

The new bridge creates easy access to the island from the Bahama Mama. The bridge has a separate pedestrian lane which creates a safe, wide lane for walking, running, and bicycling. A concrete barrier keeps cars safely away from the pedestrian lane. From the Bahama Mama it is about a 20-minute walk across the bridge to the beach. It is a popular activity for families, couples, and serious runners. Enjoy the exercise, views, and socializing with others.
