Figure Eight Island Recreation

Figure Eight Island features tennis courts, boat ramps and miles of white sand beaches. This is a great place to enjoy surfing, kayaking, windsurfing, canoeing, kite flying, biking, shelling, bird watching, crabbing, walking, and of course just plain doing nothing at all. Leave your stress at the guardhouse!

Shopping, Restaurants, Golf Nearby
Although cars are permitted, traffic is not a factor here primarily due to the absence of commercial centers, hotels, condos, and shopping. Yet you’re only minutes from the mainland where you’ll find all the services, stores and amenities you need, not to mention a host of excellent restaurants, golf courses and attractions.
