Great Bay's beachfront boardwalk is lined with beach bars and casual restaurants. They are packed on cruise days, but several stay open into the evening when the ships have gone.
Practical
Coordinate approx: on the boardwalk segment of Great Bay Beach (OpenStreetMap), between the Front Street entry and Holland House. Wikivoyage names The Pier (a beach club and pub at the western tip by the Walter Plantz Square fountains), Sea View (local craft beer, popular on Fridays) and Big Bastards along the boardwalk. It also names Aziana, an Asian-fusion restaurant at the Philipsburg Marina, and Grumpy's beach bar at Dock Maarten marina, popular with megayacht crews. All of these stay open after the cruise ships leave. Expect beach-club prices. Some bills add a 15% service line that may be labelled as tax.
