Timeline

  1. 15:06

    Santarpio's Pizza

    Grab a slice of pizza to go. Santarpio’s is the local institution here. Order a pie to share while you walk, or just grab a drink inside if you prefer to sit.

  2. 16:06

    Bremen Street Community Park

    Walk to Bremen Street Community Park. Find the path leading toward the water. The park is open late, giving you plenty of space to settle in.

  3. 16:36

    Constitution Beach

    Head to Constitution Beach. This is the spot for the sunset. The beach faces WSW, perfectly aligning with the sun as it dips below the horizon. Watch the jets come in for a landing as the light fades.

  4. 17:21

    Kelly's Pub

    After the sun is down, walk back toward the neighborhood to Kelly’s Pub. It is a short walk from the beach area. The bright, family-friendly interior offers a warm contrast to the evening chill. Grab a beer and enjoy the local atmosphere.

Local tip

The walk from the beach to Kelly’s is short but involves moving from the waterfront back into the residential streets. Keep an eye on your pizza if you took it to go.
