With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy everything that Surf City, 55 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Surf City Pier, Ohana Paddle Sports and Mia’s Marketplace. Don’t skip Cedar Point either! Just 50 miles away, Cedar Point Tideland Trailhead, Salty Air Open Market and Barrier Island Kayaks are non-negotiable stops here.
