Biscay Sound is a small, picturesque village along the New England coast. With a population of about 30,000, it sees its busiest months during the summer when scores of tourists come out to boat and enjoy the town's quaint atmosphere. Biscay is surrounded by a dense forest on all sides except the coast. A two-lane highway, the only road access, cuts through the woods, with the nearest large town a good 45-minute drive away.<br/><br/>Some highlights of Biscay Sound:<br/><br/>• Old Town Biscay: The downtown area looks like it came right out of a history book, with charming shops and boating regalia everywhere. Old Town caters to tourists and is hopping during the peak summer months. There is a thriving artist community here, evidenced by the many studios dotting Biscay Blvd. Some of the town's best restaurants are found here.<br/><br/>• Docks: Hundreds of personal water craft are moored at the docks, many owned by tourists and so see seldom use. A commercial section of the docks is home to Biscay's fishing industry, which operates year round.<br/><br/>• Biscay Yacht Club: Near the docks, this country club is made up largely of wealthy retirees who have settled in Biscay. The Club operates its own, private dock area, where many high-price pleasure vessels can be found.<br/><br/>• Business Downtown: While Old Town is where the tourists go, many locals think of nearby Darcy Street as the town's true downtown. This is where City Hall is located and the Police Department, both in modern buildings. There are several large office buildings where most of the town's serious business gets transacted. Not to detract from Biscay's old world feel, Darcy Street is far enough removed from Old Town as not to be visible unless specifically approached. For those locals who don't fish or don't operate shops in Old Town, most work here somewhere.<br/><br/>• Residences: Small, lovely New England homes can be found throughout Biscay, with the more expensive near the coast. However, a large number of residences are found deep in the woods scattered along country lanes. About one-fifth of all residences are vacation homes, so sit empty most of the year.<br/><br/>• Williams Lighthouse: The Williams Lighthouse is an historic landmark which still sees use today. Sitting right on the coast, its light can be seen for miles. During the summer visits tour the working lighthouse daily.
