Scenic Drive Historic Walking Area Must See

• ©

Driving along the Atlantic coast, imagine what life must have been like at one of the lavishing mansions on Ocean Drive Historic District, which were built in the 19th and the 20th century. Take the 16 km (10 mi) road atop the Atlantic Ocean, passing through luxurious neighbourhoods. Then park your car and snap some photos or take a tour of some of the mansions. See the gardens, stables, vehicles, stone sculptures, and fountains. Take in the open ocean views, listen to seagulls, and walk along the shore, where you can picnic.

  A local favorite and a great place to hang out during the day or to just catch the sunset. Before you reach the main point area there’s a few stops to look at some nature as well.  more »

  I think I was expecting this to be a bit lengthier. It's mostly just a cruise around homes that you can barely see and a little bit of ocean. Not the highlight of our trip but if you're doing it anyway, try to time it so you can see the sunset at Brenton Point. You'll have plenty of time to finish the drive by dusk and we really enjoyed the view from there.
