Movie Theatre
We feel so lucky to be able to have such a wonderful movie theatre within walking distance. Not only a movie theatre but once you view a movie here, you may consider all other theaters not as fun. With comfortable seating, and seat service. You can order a beer, root beer float and popcorn right from your seat.

Take this route!
It always amazes me that nature will overtake what humans create if we leave it alone long enough. This road is constantly in maintenance because it borders the ocean. It is so gorgeous and every time I drive it I find myself grateful. Be ready for some sort of bumps and gravel on it but if you enjoy beautiful views this is for you.
