Food Scene
Tuna Striker Pub at Eastmans Pier is our most favorite local go to! Get there early if you plan on dinner. The wait can exceed two hours during the season. But oh so worth it!!! You will be glad you experienced the pub.
The food and service are outstanding. If you are looking for a quaint beach chic vibe this is the place.
