Ocean Point was quite busy over the holiday weekend with both residents and visitors enjoying the good weather. The inn was full and the dining room was open with lots of people enjoying their first meal of the season. Thanks to Tony and his crew for getting the dining room up and running so early in the season.

It was nice to see quite a bit of activity around the casino and the ball field as well.
