Thanks to Mother Nature, guests and wildlife enjoyed a remarkably dry and beautiful winter at Ocean’s Reach. As you can see, water levels were low, but ample for feeding the little blue heron in our pond.
The weather was also ideal for beaching, golfing, hiking, bicycling, dining al fresco and relaxing in short sleeves and open-toe sandals.

At the Bailey’s Tract, the scenery is lovely and changes daily. There are many path options to traverse and all are interesting to follow.
