Don't forget the Beautiful Community Herb Garden w/ a large Potting Shed - the Herb Garden Committee welcomes community participation in planting & enjoyment of this special space. Our Kayak Launch sports a long pier w/ expansive views of the Indian River Bay & Indian River Bridge and plenty of kayak storage space (for rent). There's a Summer Season Beach Shuttle (5 days/week). Our Shearwater Drive Bridge (crossing Collins Creek to our new Rec Barn, Pools & Exercise Facility) unites Bay Forest's two sections while offering extraordinary views of the salt marsh it crosses and Indian River Bay beyond. 15+ miles of sidewalks. 5 Miles Bethany Beach. 2 YEAR HOME WARRANTY FOR ADDED PEACE OF MIND: A $1,200 VALUE!
