Our favorite beach! We got married here in 2019! Convenient parking along road, lots of beach space, and beautiful (chilly) water... there are often surfers here as well! Great little places to eat along Long Beach Road!!

This is one of my favorite beaches ever!! $20 or so to enter and park for the day. Quiet water right off the beach that is great for kids, or you can walk along the beach for a more secluded area, and it is dog friendly all day in certain areas!! Bring your own food, water etc. because there are is nothing for sale there!

Everything is delicious. They currently are open for takeout only including takeout cocktails - I am not usually a rosé girl but their frosé is probably one of the best things I’ve ever had to drink!

Another one of our favorite restaurants... delicious food, great beer/cocktail selection, wonderful service. Great outdoor dining space due to covid that stayed open until it became freezing out... now doing takeout including cocktails! They do fill up for reservations about a weekend in advance so call ahead if you want to check them out!
