This is a rather touristy place I admit. Get off the Ferry and you're smack dab in the clutches of this trap! However, is it a trap? Are you stuck here with nothing but cheap souvenirs and expensive restaurants? No!
Stuck here? Not really. Rent a bike and ride the full width and length of the Island to see anything you'd like.
Cheap souvenirs? Well, maybe a few, but also there are specialty shops that offer things not found in the discount stores or department type stores. A collection of English and Scottish items can be found in one shop as well as samples of genuine American-Indian music and art in another shop.
Expensive restaurants? Well, yes, a few. However they are worth the expenditure IMO. Keep in mind that there are other choices that won't deplet the pocket-book. You could even walk across the street to the grocery store and pick up something for a nice picnic, walk back and sit on the grass or sand to enjoy the sun, ocean breeze and the bayside activity.
