Must See at the BTC
If you haven’t been to the corner – where Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach join to form The Beaches Town Center – during this holiday season, then do get down there to see this excellent display of Christmas lights with beachy accoutrement. Our little coastal communities exude small town holiday charm, and have the shops and restaurants that will make your visit worth more than just a drive-by.
If you live in town, then come on over that bridge to soak in the last of the holiday season at the beach. The lights and decor that line both sides of Atlantic Boulevard as you approach the ocean are both whimsical and impressive. The crown jewel – that magnificent tree – stands grandly between both towns and is quite the focal point. We like to think of it as our own sort of Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. For people who’ve been treated to this scene nightly for the past several weeks, it’s still rather magical during these waning days of the Christmas season.
In addition to all the terrific restaurants that are within walking distance of the beach – so many great choices – there are a couple of new restaurants worth checking out. There’s Poe’s Tavern which occupies the former Sticky Fingers location, and M Shack, the Medure brothers’ newest restaurant, which fits perfectly into The BookMark’s former Atlantic Beach spot.
Happy New Year!
