The deck at the Coast Guard House (40 Ocean Road, Narragansett) is as close as you can get to dining on the water without chartering a boat. Bring a jacket because it's often breezy near the ocean, and kick back and enjoy cocktails made with local spirits. Great dining local favorite

Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri helped put Crazy Burger (144 Boon Street, Narragansett) on the map, and travelers are crazy about the eclectic menu at this compact eatery, too. How often do you find vegan options at a burger joint? Or breakfast selections available until 4 p.m.? You won't go wrong with a Whassupy Burger and basil lime lemonade. Crazy Burger also serves dinner, which means you'll actually be tempted to dine here three times a day.
