Excellent food. My top choice, but good for autumn evenings, cool nights, or rainy nights. Not at all beachey, in a downtown location, but is hopping and quaint and has the best food in town, in my opinion.

Live music, busy bar, located in a harbor hotel, with slips and boats docking to hang out there for the day/night. Live bands, more mellow at Happy Hour and then later becomes a live music bar scene, with a lot of dancing and cover bands.

Parks & Nature
Stage Fort Park has bandstand, and live music some nights. It has a Farmers Market and picnic tables, grass, playground, little rocky beaches for day picnics goers, hiking walks around the battlements and views of the entire harbor from atop the highest points on the hiking trails/large boulders that have paths that make it easy to climb for views. My 88 year old dad walked up the paths last year. Well worth the views.
