In Gingerland,
take the road to Hickmann’s Village. Landmarks to watch for include
Elliott’s Funeral Parlor just south toward Gingerland Center.
Square stone water “fort” on corner of our road down the hill.
Golden Rock Estate

Enjoy lunch with a view in the gazebo or dinner on their new

“the source.”

Our closest grocery store. They are well stocked and open
7-days/week.
White Bay Beach
- “Our beach” on the windward side. Take Hanley’s Road in
Gingerland (watch the huge bump by the parish church), to the bottom
of the hill. Turn left at the intersection in the fields, and go
past the racetrack. You will end up on the sand. Play cautiously
in the surf.

and a walk around the grounds.
