AROUND ELEPHANT WALK
There is something for everyone in the beachy and forested areas of Harbor Country. All year long the area offers different events and different activities for the young and the old, the active and the relaxed, the beer drinker and the wine or spirits connoisseur, the arts lover and the nature enthusiast. Each unit on the property has brochures and menus from area businesses as well as guestbooks where people often leave their own recommendations.
​
The Harbor Country Chamber of Commerce is a great way to explore the most current options, but check out the different seasons below to get an idea of how to best soak up the area's offerings.
