My favorite place to go for donuts!! This place is family owned and has been around for years. Go early because they get very busy. Don't stop on the street and hold up traffic to turn in...you will get a ticket and drivers will get upset and blow their horn at you. You can access from the street right before the store to the west.

This restaurant is located on the water with outside and inside seating available. Some people just go and hang out at the bar and hang out with the fisherman coming in for the day. They will even cook your catch for you. Great seafood and nice cold beer.
