Another cool thing about Windansea is that there are a lot of historic homes in the area(you can tell which ones are historic because they'll have a little plaque on the frontside of the home). That little area around there is called the Beach-Barber Tract. Mitt Romney used to have a beach-front house on Dunemere Drive. Back when he was running for president he'd sometimes vacation at that home, and secret service would shutdown entry to that street. Also, towards the left end of Windansea there's a pump-house and a porta-potty. When somebody in the local surf crew dies, people turn it into a memorial(they'll spraypaint stuff on it, paint murals sometimes, leave flowers, etc).
