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.
