Bracey is also the host to many fishing tours for those who like deep water fishing, and Lake Gaston has a family-oriented, year-round camp ‘Americamps’ – making Bracey a great destination for families.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

Bracey’s local delicacies are family and fun-focused, and they are casual at heart. Furr’s Deli & Dogs is a local shop that offers aromatic and tasteful homemade fresh country sausage. Their menu consists of a highly rated Ribeye burger, and their fresh pork chops are made daily with local meat. For a similar vibe, Shady Shack Grill & Flip Flops Bar proudly serves the community of Bracey and Lake Gaston and sits right on the water’s edge. This is an excellent spot to enjoy live music in the sun with a fresh cold beer from the tap.

For those on the go, Backyard Birds and Coffee is a coffee shop serving up hand-dipped ice cream, with local peanuts on top, and a delicious cup o’ joe in a relaxed atmosphere. This coffee shop started from a passion for bird feeding that began in 2014. Back then, Backyard Birds was a birding supply store, and the company has grown into what it is today - a spot for kayak rentals, binoculars, and plants.
