A quiet, family-oriented community just a couple miles from the beach
Oakhurst is a quintessential small beach neighborhood just a couple miles from the beach. Its community is a mix of summer and year-long residents, so the town changes with the seasons, its beachy summer vibe turning quieter and sleepier during the winter in its own form of near-hibernation. “Oakhurst gives you a quiet quality of life,” Michael Mizrahi, a Realtor with Weichert Realtors and a community resident says. “I’m a prime example. I moved here from New York to get a backyard and a dog. It’s enjoyable and family oriented.”
Oakhurst residents can enjoy beach access at the W. Stanley Conover Beach Pavilion.

Oakhurst is close to the beach and the boardwalk, presenting residents with many attractions and plenty to do when they want a little excitement.

It also has more developed areas, containing a playground, sports fields where residents can play baseball and soccer and a disc golf course for those looking to get their steps in.
