Few local places offer the atmosphere of South Beach and its views of Braddock Cove. The Salty Dog Caf茅 is a veritable island institution with its famed t-shirts, live music, and ice cream. Families can take a walk to the beach or stroll through the village when they鈥檙e finished eating. Coligny Plaza is another family-friendly dining destination with a number of restaurants, like Market Street Caf茅, Steamers, and Stu鈥檚 Surfside Subs, that have outside seating and family-friendly fare. Skillets even serves up live entertainment alongside a menu that is rich in comfort foods.
Shelter Cove and Harbour Town are hotspots with both local and visiting families. Both have live, child-centered entertainment, shops, harbor views, and playgrounds. By virtue of their location alone, the restaurants at the island鈥檚 largest harbors are family friendly. A simple glance inside Shelter Cove鈥檚 San Miguel鈥檚 or Parrot Cove or Harbour Town鈥檚 Crazy Crab proves they鈥檙e favorites with adults and kids alike.
Diversions are important for children, especially if there鈥檚 a wait for a table or food. Older kids may be fine with a television or conversation, but younger children often need crayons, a fun kid鈥檚 menu, or murals to capture their attention. Places that provide some sort of amusement for children are definitely places that welcome them. A diversion can be as simple as the activity mats at Truffles or as elaborate as Joseph the Magician at Kingfisher. Both the Old Oyster Factory and North End Crazy Crab have decks where families can watch the water and children can move about while waiting for a table as well as on-site sandboxes or playgrounds. The Old Oyster Factory has live music as well. Kuramas and Kob茅 both attract families who enjoy watching the excitement of their meals being prepared right before their eyes, complete with juggling, chopping, and bursts of flames!
