It is a fairly secluded with considerable privacy. The Black Point Inn, and the Prouts Neck Country Club are located there. Pine Point includes Pillsbury Shores and the East Grand Beach Business District.
At one time Pine Point Beach was primarily a summer community, but in recent years have evolved into a year round waterfront community. Additionally, most of the East Grand Avenue Business District has been converted to residential use.
The segment of rocky coastline that separates sandy Scarborough Beach from Higgins Beach is known as the Graveyard due to its turbulent shoals. This area consists of primarily of exclusive seaside homes. Alternatively, Higgins Beach extends to the northeast beyond the Graveyard to the Spurwink River and is intensively developed with small lots and cottages.
