Mail delivery here follows a highway contract route rather than traditional residential carrier routes. Only one street appears in USPS records: Seaside Road. That doesn't mean residents have no addresses. Most properties in the area receive mail through the neighboring ZIP 23310, which covers the broader Eastern Shore region.
