Neighborhoods
Quaint part of Old Orchard that has a soda fountain shop, general store and a few shops. You often will see people walking around in the morning going to get their cup of coffee. If you look at Ocean Park website, they have many activities and events for the whole family! Our favorite is Illumination night where the cottages and streets are lighted up with tea lights. The 4th of July parade is also our family favorite activity. This place is only 1 mile for our home!
