Most wonderful host/owners. Reservations are a must (well ahead of time). Delicious Italian inspired coastal cuisine. Expensive but worth it for a special occasion. Sit in courtyard on a warm evening and save room for the salted caramel brioche bread pudding!!

Beautiful view of jetty, channel and marina from there. You can even see P-town and the monument on a clear day off in the distance. Parking in this lot is residents only though, park at Sea St beach lot (same stretch of beach, different names). Better yet, ride your bikes or wait until the parking lot attendants leave at 4 (triple check this), then park wherever you like!

Do this. You will not regret it. The pic on the guidebook cover is of the oyster farms there. it's expansive and at low tide you can walk for miles. 4x4 vehicles are allowed on the beach at low tide so be aware of that. TIP: you may ride your bike all the way in (1.7 miles) but you just may find a parking spot in one of the few lots. Parking is free and it's hit or miss but it's a secret so don't tell anyone.
