This lovely neighborhood is on the water about a 6 minute drive from our guest house. It is an inlet and there are public canal waterways where you can rent kayaks or paddle boards and cruise around or just hang on the beach without the big waves. If you are looking for a romantic treat in the evening, you can ride a gondola through canals, just like in Venice Italy. You are seated in a Venetian style gondola while being rowed through the calm, night water with opera music serenading you. The company is called Gondola Getaway (562) 433-9595 You can bring your own wine and snacks and make a romantic evening of it. We highly recommend this!
