Sea-Wynd Tips and Recommendations

Beaches

We are close to some of the most beautiful beaches on the East Coast. Be aware that the parking lots fill up very early on the weekends and parking is expensive. We recommend ridesharing on Uber or Lyft.
This beautiful beach is a 2 minute drive from Sea Wynd. We recommend using rideshare rather than paying to park.

Very nice restaurant on Bowen's Wharf. Everything is good here but our favorite is to go there for lunch to enjoy the delicious onion soup and fried calamari.

Gorgeous setting for al fresco dining on the terrace or cocktails on the lawn. It is difficult to get reservations in season for lunch or dinner on weekends. There is a terrace bar with a gorgeous view. The name is a bit confusing - lunch inside the dining room and outside is "the lawn." Formal dinner inside is "the Dining Room" and informal dinner outside is "the Lawn." The entire property is called the Castle Hill Inn.

Nature

So many gorgeous places on this island!
Minutes from Sea-Wynd, just beyond Second Beach. This is an amazing place for an easy nature hike along the rocky coastline. Lots of deer hanging out which you will see at certain times of the day. We recommend the Ocean Loop trail.
