Guide
Good to know
Bring a camera for photography
The area offers abundant photo opportunities including flowering gardens, characteristic houses, and local wildlife like ducks and ducklings.
Go for a peaceful couple hours of walking
This works well for a relaxing stroll with narrow sidewalks that keep the experience intimate and peaceful.
Expect a residential canal walk, not beach swimming
This is primarily a scenic pathway through residential canals rather than a traditional beach for swimming or sunbathing.
Plan extra time to locate the canals
The actual canal area requires walking around a corner or half a block from the beach access point to find.
Expect maintenance issues with the canals
The water and surrounding areas could use better upkeep despite the location's inherent charm.
