Amazing ambiance and fabulous food and drinks. My fave is the "Baller" Bloody Mary. Make a reservation and sit out on their deck overlooking the bay. Boats come and go. People watching is fun. It's a 40 min drive but worth it if you have the time.

Sightseeing
This is the coolest ship. If you like boats and watercraft, you'll be blown away by the history of this still operational sailing vessel. It's the 2nd oldest sailboat in the WORLD! We've actually seen it sailing (all three sails full) from the balcony of our condo!!
