Sightseeing
Beautiful huge beach with lots of parking, concession stand and bathrooms. Alcohol is allowed on the beach and sold at the concession stand. If you are visiting during snow bird season or school vacation weeks expect it to be very crowded and parking will be a challenge.
We suggest when visiting at peak times to get to the beach before 9AM or wait until after 1PM to go.

Most beautiful patio for outside dining. This as an upscale restaurant but casual dress is the norm. Reservations are strongly recommended as this is a popular choice for dinner. Be sure to ask about the ‘Bada Bing’ dish made table side if dining inside. It is phenomenal!
