Nopeat faktat: Early-morning light turns the water into a glassy mirror, making paddleboarding feel like floating on a painting. Fisherfolk often land bass and catfish on light tackle, and the marina's walkways host about a dozen boat repair shops and tackle stores.
Kohokohdat: On summer nights a local fundraiser called "Harbor Lights" strings roughly 2,000 LED bulbs along 90 slips, bathing the water in warm amber and drawing anglers and photographers alike. Legend says a retired tug named Clara, painted cobalt blue, hosts a weekend potluck one Saturday each month where neighbors swap crab recipes and trade fishing tips under paper lanterns.
