Two Easy Morning Plans
Saturday downtown: Browse the Saturday Morning Market, then choose brunch at Social Roost or Birch & Vine. Leave time for a waterfront stroll. If you prefer breakfast first, start with bagels and choose either the market or brunch afterward.
Sunday at the beach: Enjoy breakfast at Café Soleil or The Frog Pond, then explore the Corey Avenue Sunday Market. Continue to your chosen public beach access when you’re ready, checking parking rules separately.
These are flexible suggestions, not a route to complete every stop. Choose what suits your group and leave room for an unhurried morning.
Before You Head Out
Check current hours, menus and market calendars.
Arrange larger-group seating directly with the restaurant.
Allow time for parking and travel between destinations.
