Relax in Adirondack chairs on the beach or wiggle your toes in the sand beneath your waterside table. Early afternoons draw families and conversationalists, while a high-spirited crowd descends on weekend evenings and holidays. Get a jump on the celebration at the "Not on the 4th" fireworks, held on June 26; or join the party-hardy crowd during AquaPalooza, the on-water, all-day boating party July 24. Boaters often arrive days early to get a good spot. Registration necessary. Notable: Step indoors to see the bow of a 1964, 38-foot Pacemaker that forms the bar, or the humorous nautically oriented art carved on the wooden floors. Also, check out Tim's II farther south at Fairview Beach. --Ann Cameron Siegal, June 2010 Tie up at the 400-foot dock or anchor offshore and ride the free water taxi during business hours. Overnighters welcome. --Ann Cameron Siegal, June 2010
