This is an amazing experience in a low-key setting. Make an afternoon of hanging at the Pier and beach, then spend the evening on Newport Ave for food and drinks! The Harp and Winstons are always goodUpvote10Downvote

norm p.June 18, 2012Chill spot for a pier. If you like to fish there is a cafe that sells bait and tackle halfway down the pier. Watch out for seaweed, surfers and seals.Upvote3Downvote
