1. Boiled Shrimp With Bay Breezes
Order a pound of boiled shrimp at Stingaree and you will understand why people plan entire beach days around dinner. The shells peel clean, juices drip with Old Bay heat, and each bite tastes like fresh tide and sunshine. Squeeze lemon, dip in cocktail sauce, and watch barges slide past the marina.
Timing matters here. Go before sunset to grab a deck seat and let the breeze cool the steam rising off your tray. Service is quick, refills land before you notice, and portions are generous enough to share…
