Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are upon us as we enter the homestretch of the Christmas season. While many are making their extensive grocery store shopping lists or finalizing plans to visit relatives for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day feasts, others are taking the more relaxed route and opting to dine out on December 24 and 25. At the beach, we have a few options for you to consider this holiday season, from feasts at our local hotel restaurants to overstuffed sandwiches at our favorite local Jewish delicatessen. Take a look at a few of your holiday dining options at the beach:
