It is one of the two unincorporated areas in Volusia County along the coast that does not have a condominium or hotel (the other being Highbridge); instead, the area uses beachfront homes. Tom Wilbur Bay is a body of water that only has docks on the east side of the bay. The major roads of the area are State Road 441 and CR 4075; both roads border a body of water, Peninsula Drive on the west and South Atlantic Avenue on the east. 29°07′43″N 80°57′28″W / 29.12861°N 80.95778°W / 29.12861; -80.95778
The community gained national attention after Hurricane Nicole in 2022 when many oceanfront homes collapsed into the ocean due to the erosion Hurricane Ian had caused weeks before.
