Local beach access with paid parking at the very end of Holiday Isle. Another great place to watch fireworks, access the bay, and catch water taxis. This is an additional beach access approx. 2 min drive or 10 min walk from our unit. *To be clear, this is not the access available at our unit, this is just another option for you
