As the days become warmer and longer, we welcome visitors from all over the state and even the country. Remember to be patient if your favorite restaurant has a waiting list or you must wait a little longer to pump your gas. Many of our businesses depend on the summer visitors to keep the doors open year-round.
The fourth of July weekend always draws a large crowd, and we expect this year to be typical with the holiday falling on a Thursday.

Decorate your golf cart, boat, scooter, car, or trailer and join us as we make our way down to the beach and around the northern part of town.
The annual fourth of July fireworks show will be Saturday July 6, 2024. As in past years we depend solely on donations to provide this beautiful fireworks show to commemorate our country’s birthday. If you would like to donate you can do so by visiting our website or dropping your extra change in one of the boxes located at several businesses in town.
