Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Warm Atlantic breezes and wide, soft sand attract surfers and families, and the long pier is a favorite spot for watching pelicans swoop at dawn. Smoky seafood shacks push out citrus-bright grilled shrimp and hush puppies, while evening boardwalks fill with the smell of salt, toasted marshmallows, and local music.
Destaques: Coppery sunsets stain wet sand in shades of orange and magenta, photographers lining the shore with long lenses to catch the reflection as waves sigh in. Locals say dozens of pelicans and anglers share the pier at dawn, and on Independence Day fireworks draw crowds measured in the thousands, turning the shoreline into a glittering ribbon of sound and light.
