Lovely, peaceful area right on the beach. Beautiful gardens with markers. There is a nice trail they goes into the woods and a nice little area to walk down to the beach. They do have restroom and a donation box if you like to contribute but no entrance fee. The gardens and beach area were peaceful and just a beautiful view everywhere you look. The gardens are nicely maintained and you can see the time put into the entire area.See more..
The retired dentist that runs this unique sculpture garden was very informative and gracious. Pat was not too keen on visiting this until she saw the amazing sculptures which awed both her and me. They are done by some very well known artists. They also have a very nice gift shop.See more..
