Dune Dogz Treats - this is a few more steps up and you'll find some delicious american food options and Ice cream! Fun atmosphere too:) Tunnel Park: This beach is beautiful. Very high water right now so the beach is more crowded than normal. There is a nice parking places that cost $. or for a short walk you can park outside the park for free.
