This is both sight seeing & food. The Hunt room downstairs is cozy & has great craft cocktails & food, the upstairs restaurant, Becca has a great view outside, although have experienced bad service (it's expensive), but the Rawleigh room & tarnished Truth distillery with a tour is a great way to spend a late afternoon/evening).

You can rent bikes on 11th street between Clypso & Tap house near the boardwalk. It's about a 12 minute walk! Or you can get a city transit pass and take city transportation or the trolly. HRT
