This a once in a life time view and experience. If you plan on visiting you may want to plan for the entire day. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes and clothes if you plan on walking the Dunes. It is not for the weak and weary.

Food scene

My husband and I absolutely love this venue. It has a casual atmosphere with a fine dining experience. It is on an upscale menu, but the value of the food is well worth it. We highly recommend the fresh whitefish from John Cross’s fish market. The stewed tomatoes are to die for!

This is a MUST visit place. The beer, cider and food is ALWAYS AMAZING. Due to Covid you have to have a reservation, so make sure you plan for it. They also offer curbside pick up. Our favorite is the Sketches of Winkle in a wrap! ❤️
