Reviews
"They are very informational, helpful, courteous and with printed hand outs of information."
"Went for the beach. Its huge but not that many people but I heard the town was like only 300 ppl on off days 1000+ on holidays. The drive there was beautiful. I'd advise to drive in the morning that way when you deive out there's still a lot of day light to get you back through all the trees. I personally wouldn't even try to drive it with out any sunlight and I like to drive especially through rural roads and non existent places lol. If your not used to driving up hill curvy roads DRive the posted speed limit not even 5mph more some of those curves look like they wanted to eat a truck or car straight off the cliff. The beach was amazing and almost worth my entire wild but I and my friend was the only seen people."
"Helpful people... however from the street it only looks like the fire department is there. New people might have a hard time seeing it"
