Hit the local morning fish markets for fresh, cheaper seafood, then cook in your condo, huge savings over tourist restaurants.
Food scene surprised me, great crab cakes and local breweries, expect tourist prices near the pier though.
Sunset strolls on the boardwalk are unbeatable, lots of seafood spots, beaches are crowded but still fun.
Park on side streets before 9am to snag cheaper meters and walk to the beach, restaurants a couple blocks inland are far cheaper.
Stayed a week, sand was nice but everything else felt very touristy and overpriced, wouldn't rush back.
