A Spring & Summer time must at the end of a day! Relax on their outside deck and watch the sun go down. They usually have a band playing on Sundays. My favorite is the soft-shell crab sandwich.

I like the far north end, drive to the last parking area and walk along the beach to the North tip. Keep your eye out for the mailbox at the dunes edge where you can leave a note for the universe. Beautiful marsh views and not many people.
