Food scene
Beach goers favorite spot. Live entertainment on weekends and many nights while in season. Gets crowded so be prepared to wait for a table during dinner hours. Drinks at the front bar help while you wait. I also suggest Beach House guests take the golf cart ride service down to avoid parking. You can also walk - but be careful on the way home if you have had a few!
