Great lunch spot on the actual waterfront walk in the heart of the boardwalk action. If you can get a table under the awning its a great way to people watch and take a break from the bike & sand.

Lots of beers on tap. Cocktails. Sake Coco Bombs. Iconic beachfront bar. Great first stop on an evening out. The beach spots tend to close earlier than the rest.

At the beach, great salads, beer, the crazy scene at the boardwalk! :-)

Right on the boardwalk in Venice but not a tourist trap! Great, organic food, over 30 craft beers on tap, nice wine selection (esp considering it's an Ale house!) and the people watching can't be beat.
