Seaside Dining


Much has changed on the culinary landscape (beachscape?) here recently, with the addition many exciting new places. We love dining al fresco, and almost every restaurant listed has outdoor seating available. Nearly all are in Seaside and are very easily walkable from Thyme after Thyme.
