Tons of great businesses to patronize before and after your beach visit as well. BIG waves during our October visit which made paddle boarding (or my version of it which is just going weeeee on lil waves) super fun. A 6.5 hour drive from Rochester and a really good option if you're just looking for a speedy getaway.

Also they don't harass you to death for beach tags in my experience- many times the entrances to the beach aren't staffed with beach inspectors. Lifeguards are excellent and there are snack shacks and of course the mobile "Fudgey Wudgey" ice cream cooler. There is even a great Wawa in town if you are on a budget. Picnicking is not allowed and that is the reason the seagulls aren't out of control. The shops are great! One of my new fave shops is "The Well Dressed Olive". Get here early and don't miss out on the "Bread and Cheese Cupboard" piggy buns or theee "to die for" pepperoni tangy savory bread- cash only (booooo!!!) lots of fun at Hoy's and some junky type souvenirs that are fun n frivolous for all. Don't miss their happening t shirt and sweat shirt collection boasting the Stone Harbor name. Bathrooms are near the water tower in the shopping district. Things in Stone Harbor tend to cost a lot more. Be prepared. This area is crawling with money, so you are going to spend money!
