Hey everyone, it’s Camryn! One thing I’ve learned so far by being here is that OBA has so much to discover: food, entertainment, shopping, adventure, and the water of course. But what if I told you there’s a magical spot on the bay that has all these things and more? No joke!! The Wharf sits right off of Canal Road and hosts a wide variety of shops, restaurants, bars, and more. They even host great events for all ages! Keep reading to uncover some of my favorite highlights from this amazing place.
