Great BBQ and delicious beer! Eat in, or take out. This is one of our favorites. It can get busy at peak times, so get your name on the list and go peruse the Sawyer Garden Center. Lots of outdoor seating.

Beautiful beach and moderately challenging hiking paths, right next door. A quick walk from the house, or if a 4-5 mile hike is appealing, drive 5 minutes to the park entrance at Floral Lane.
Dog beach on the north side of the park is great for wearing out the pups, but a long walk so consider driving in or approaching from Floral Lane.
