Sightseeing
walkable from the house via the cliff walk to the fisherman's walk, or up York St to lilac lane. It's a beautiful walk across the famous bridge, through the woods on the island. It's a short walk through the park and a stop over at Village Scoop for ice cream is a treat!

the closest beach to the house, at the end of the cliff walk or 1/2 mile down York St. I recommend checking the tides - high tide doesn't leave much beach, but the harbor is protected, the beach is sandy, and the bathhouses are nice. There's no food or activities, and not much cell service.
