The Attractions of Oriental
Tempting as these views are, there’s too much to do to stay on the porch all day. Captains’ Quarters is just your way-point for the many activities nearby. You can bike, golf, canoe or kayak. Test your luck with charter fishing. Or join guided explorations of scenic salt water creeks or exotic bird habitats. Still looking for more? The Olde Theater Play House is next door. Religious services are conducted in a number of local churches. Delicious casual dining is moments away. And you can even take a scenic ride to the Aurora Fossil Museum, where you can mine your own 15 million year old fossils.
Annick and Roy will be happy to help you schedule your activities when you make your reservations.
