The Breakwater is a great for a scenic walk but it also has "The Breakwater Barge" Concerts, food trucks, and a beer garden. The barge fills up very quickly for get down early for sometimes free admission and to get your stamp!
If you don't get on the barge, don't worry, its still lots of fun to sit and watch from the breakwater or shoreline.
