Pool scene
A bit overpriced to stay here, but you can visit the pool for free, and they have AMAZING drinks and chicken fingers. Get here early on the weekends to make sure you get a lounge chair.

A "scene" and "be scene" paid pool by day, tea dance 4-7p after! Not the best option for families (Ptown Inn's pool is a bit less scene-y, and also, free!).

Bar scene
THE nightclub in town, usually open on the weekends in season and sometimes on busy weekends off season. Historic, dark wood, low lighting, huge back patio, super fun. Next door is Little Bar, which is open year-round (and has a great fireplace in winter). Upstairs is Macho Bar, for gentlemen looking for a fun time.

A beautiful (and long) walk - be VERY mindful of the tides, as it's quite dangerous at high tide. Consider walking one direction to Long Point, and taking the Flyer's ferry in the other direction.
