Food Scene
Sweet Sues Bake Shop & Coffee
9124 Bay AveGood coffee on a cute little corner of North Beach.
All local food from small farmers. They sell Hex Ferments from Baltimore, which is seriously the best kombucha and kraut I've ever had. These cheese is amazing, as is whatever local fruit is in season. I am in here almost everyday. I love the women who work there. It's a great place.

If you want a true Souther Maryland experience, this is where you want to go pick crabs. It is the real deal, which isn't to say it's going to be great or anything. I have so many things to tell you about this place. Just ask.

Shopping
A big, sprawling antique shop. It's kind of overpriced, but I think it is o fun to look through there. When I was a little girl, I would save my money to go and buy my mom and grandmom Depression glass. I have a soft-spot for this place.

It's crowded. Kids love it. If you don't get there early it's nearly impossible to find a chair to leave your stuff. Sometimes I take my kids later in the afternoons though when the price drops, and it isn't as crazy then. I also think you can reserve cabanas, so if this is something you really want to do, look in to that option.
