Some of the best bands in the region can be heard at the Beach Shack, a laidback neighborhood bar that, as its name implies, is right on the beach. Chill out after a day at the beach -- swimsuits and sandy feet are welcome. Outdoor seating is available, and you can enjoy great blues bands while watching the waves. Happy hour is 4 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday with $2 wells and $1.50 drafts and cans. Items on the menu are under $9.
