All the pavilions are conveniently located – take your pick; want some privacy and a great game of horseshoes? Then Pavilion A is your spot; …a playground for the kids and a ball field for the team? Pavilion B is for you. If close proximity to the beach and boating is what you need then choose Pavilion D. Finally, Pavilion C… attached bathrooms, a kitchen and a picturesque view of the beach!
