If you still have the energy for some nighttime entertainment there are tons of local beach bars, breweries, sports bars and more nearby. Several have live music all year round!

One of our favorite things to do with friends/family that come to visit us is hire a chartered fishing trip, and rent jet-skis or bicycles & electric bikes!
