Things to Do
1For family activities, you're looking at beach access — and that's really it. This is more of an industrial and maritime stretch than a family destination, so there's essentially no enrichment scene, no kids' gyms, no sports leagues to speak of. What you get is ocean frontage, and if beach days are your thing, that's a legitimate plus. But beyond sun and sand, the "things to do" list is extremely thin for families looking to fill an afternoon.
