A super local institution that's been around for decades. The decor is right out of the 80s. The pizza is individual sized, with a signature crunchy (and greasy) crust. Take one to go and head to the beach.

This is my favorite addition to downtown. Dangerously close, homemade ice cream in fresh flavors is made and served up by a super-friendly couple, Jacqui and John. He went to ice cream school, so these two know what they're doing. A must. A bit hidden, just look for the door left of Portland Pie.

Take a step back in time to this small-town bar. Can be quiet, and definitely a local scene. However, Vincent behind the bar has been there for decades, and still maintains his thick Irish accent. If you want a Guiness served up properly while chatting about the history of the town, he is your barman. Dinner also available, with some traditional American fare.
