The U.S. Little Creek Amphibious Base is just to the west.  A private beach community in a residential neighborhood, homeowners in Chick's Beach enjoy a much quieter beach than the Oceanfront, as public access is extremely limited.

 

Homes in the neighborhoods surrounding Chick's Beach vary in style and price range, from condos and townhomes to cozy beach bungalows, usually offering waterfront views.  This close-knit, family-friendly community enjoys many neighborhood-sponsored events as well as a myriad of recreational opportunities, including boating, jet-skiing, kayaking and golfing at several nearby golf courses (Bayville, Eagle Haven).  Kept somewhat tucked away from the general public, local restaurants are notoriously highly-rated.
