Randall's Seafood
301 Ansley BoulevardLooking for the best seafood? This is the place. Great selection, great prices.
Good family-friendly restaurant and bar. Eat in, take-out and delivery. Great happy hour from 4-6 with discount apps and drinks (love the mussels in white). You can't go wrong with the pasta/seafood special of the day. And the volcano pizza is awesome and spicy!

For a GREAT sandwich (or raw meats for grilling) go to Ernest and Son Meat Market – their menu is in the binder in the house. My favorite is the Newc (turkey, slaw and pepper cheese).

Stop by Rip Tide bait and tackle shop for Stock’s pound cake – sounds weird to get cake in a bait shop – but that’s where it is!

The Brigantine Farmers market
Saturday mornings in the summer - a great way to kick off your weekend and stock up on nosh, local art, coffee, fresh squeezed lemonade, prepared and frozen foods, flowers, produce, etc. We love getting fresh, local clams from clam daddy’s and tossing them with pasta and fresh tomatoes for a fresh, quick dinner. And the focaccia and fresh mozz from Tony Boloney's is fabulous. There are a lot of great vendors there.
Located at the Brigantine Community School parking lot at 301 E Evans Blvd from 8am - 12pm.

Walk to the end of the street to the bay for the best sunset views. (FYI - The yacht club there is private property. Please don’t walk on their docks, etc.)
