The freshest and most delicious fried shrimp at the beach! Don't be fooled by the dated decor. Mike uses fresh local seafood. I recommend sitting in the oyster bar area. Also good for a hearty diner style breakfast.

Delicious soft pretzels. Yummy burgers. Interesting salads. Wide variety of drinks. Sometimes slow service so when you go, be on "beach time."

Sightseeing
The original concept beach town, don't miss taking a day to drive up scenic 30A and stop at all of the quaint towns. Seaside is probably the busiest, but it's worth seeing. Check out the airstream food trucks, the Taco Bar, and Pizza by the Sea. If you like galleries, make sure to visit Fusion, a fantastic glass gallery.

The first town on Scenic 30A, they have a great Farmers Market on Sunday morning. All the offerings are local and organic, so don't be surprised by the higher prices.

The second stop on Scenic 30A, the all white buildings are reminiscent of Bermuda. If you want a "Starbucks" alternative, visit Fonville Press.
