Hard to beat having a private beach, but if you are staying for a while and want to get out and about and see something different, this State Park with it’s white sandy beaches offers up something slightly different. There are actually a number of beaches on this island, but this is our favourite!

White Elephant is large so can accommodate many guests and always seems to have something going on whether it’s live music or Karaoke. The tables by the water are the best and we frequent this place when the others are too busy and we’re just looking for simple pub fare. Just past the south end of Englewood Beach.
