Sightseeing
This is a must for family fun with lots of rides and games for the entire family. Even if you are not the thrill-seeking type, there is plenty to do just walking around the boardwalk and taking in the views. The lights at night are also a neat effect.

Parking can be tricky on the island
Biking is a great way to get around, but be sure to bring a bike lock. Parking can be tricky, so the trolley or other public transport is also a good option. Many activities are walking distance from the house, and Lyft and Uber are also available. Don't park in a paid parking spot without making sure your fare is paid. There is a lot of parking enforcement in public areas.
