Developed in the mid-1940s, this community, which is primarily gay, is in good part populated by members of the world of fashion and design. It is well-known for its upscale social life and beautiful harbor. Colorful umbrella-spiked tables on the wide terraces of outdoor bars and restaurants front the picturesque harbor. Gleaming boats rock gently against the boardwalk featuring shops and a flower-decked pavilion at the ferry dock. The houses-flowered and sea-grassed old cottages or designer beach houses with swimming pools overlooking the ocean-nestle within their wooded environs.
The narrow boardwalks weave from bay to ocean dip and roll through the pines and shrubs following the natural swells of the terrain. All of them seem to lead to a view somehow better than the last.
