Bloody mary on the Ferry. Ernies in Old Harbor for breakfast on the deck. Take a walk down to the Bluffs. Bike ride/moped out to North Light. The State Beaches allow coolers. Ballard's will have entertainment in the afternoon and can be pretty "lively". They also have waitresses on the beach there. Martini on the porch at the Spring House (best views on the Block). Have a Del's frozen lemonade. Hamburger at the National sitting outside. Finn's for chowder. Dead Eye Dick's has solid seafood. Mohegan Cafe has a very diverse dinner menu. 1661 Inn has a superb champagne breakfast buffet. At night Yellow Kittens and Captain Nicks will have live bands and can be pretty crazy. Check out the Malcolm Greenaway Gallery in Old Harbor next to the movie theater.

Its a beautiful place and hey, its in RI. The hotels and B&B's can be pretty pricey, though. Great beach.

Well I am back. I have to say McGovern's Yellow Kittens was my favorite. The food was great. They are know for their Mud Slides and the Margaritas were good too. Ballards was great because it was on the beach, but the margaritas were not that great. Luckily I brought some Cruzan and made my own Rum and Cokes on the beach. There is waitress service on the beach and there is live music. It is a great drinking town!
