The surrounding creeks and branches of the St. Martin River provide plenty of opportunities for kayaking, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors. Location is also a major draw for newcomers. Living here means having room to breathe and quiet neighborhood roads, all while being roughly fifteen to twenty minutes from Ocean City and Delaware beaches like Fenwick Island. It is an appealing choice for anyone looking for small-town charm and a bit of land close to the coast.
