Food scene

The Peak Tap Room is a favorite amongst locals! It is a bar with pizza, but family-friendly during the day. You can load your pizza with as many toppings as you like, at the same price. They are brick oven pizzas, so if you don't want "dark spots" just ask for it to be blonde! The pizzas take about 40 minutes, so call your order in ahead if you will be in a hurry.

You cannot find a better place to eat on the beach! We like to have brunch here on Sundays - but get there early to get a seat on the balcony overlooking the pier.
