This is more fine dining - pricier, more upscale, but very delicious. Nice view on the water. Our family of four enjoys it but I wouldn't call it a "family place".

We love this place to get good and reasonably priced pasta - but they also feature seafood. We usually carry-out after a long day at the beach, but I see it has been revamped and has an outdoor patio overlooking the lighthouse - might have to eat there next time.

Cool club right next to the beach. Kids enjoyed looking for little crabs out in the sand. (need phone flashlight for that)

Experiencing the Island
Live music - great atmosphere - good food. You can go out on the pier and enjoy the view and sometimes the pirate ship tour comes up and fires a cannon and has a little staged scuffle - great fun for the kids.

If you’re looking for a fun beach party atmosphere – this is the place. Huge deck area with two stages for live music. Quick serve food. Hamburgers, fried shrimp, wings, all pretty tasty. Sand volleyball and lots of activity on the beach.

Awesome waterpark, (formerly Schlitterbahn) well worth your time and money. You almost never get out of your tube - they have a conveyor belt to send you up and around again. Has both indoor and outdoor areas. We've only done outdoor, but on a rainy day the indoor might be a great option.
