I was in town for the weekend weather was not the best. We were at the beach and voila ice cream fixes all. Beach side Cafe was busy but fast and friendly.

This restaurant has a nice variety of choices on their menu. It is a great place for a quick snack or lunch, while enjoying the beach and sun.
