Moncks Bay
Waterfront on its doorstep, a working farm at its back.

A small coastal neighbourhood with a working farm as its backdrop and the waterfront on its doorstep. Walk beside the water before work, spend weekends out on the bay, or head into the hills to unwind. A welcoming community and a little more breathing room, all within reach of the city.
