n katie musolff brings ‘found art’ to vibrant life

This old fishing village is reminiscent of the New England coastline with its string of century-old white clapboard buildings, horseshoe-shaped shoreline, and sailboats floating in the bay. Go explore Peninsula State Park!

Wander the charming tree-lined streets to discover a variety of shops — souvenir, clothing, jewelry, Irish imports, artwork, bath products, beach stuff, and homemade candy.

Great restaurants, eateries, and coffee shops offer many choices — modern American, Asianinspired, tavern food, and fish boils.

Inns, cottages, and hotels are within walking distance to the shops, shoreline and parks.
