Formerly only open on Friday and Saturday nights, now you can hang at Jo's Thursday thru Sunday evenings. It's like visiting your uncle's basement bar. It's been here for 50 years or more, run by the same couple. Jo is Josephine and she was a feisty lovely lady who went to join her husband, Jack, in the jazz club of the stars this past June. They are dearly remembered by anyone who was lucky enough to meet them.
The new owners were friends of Jo and Jack D'Arcy, they are keeping the walls of Jo's covered with nautical memorabilia from the past 50 years from coast guard badges to signs from ships. The juke box still plays Elvis and Aerosmith. And the bar still serves liquor and domestic beers such as Pabst Blue Ribbon and Michelob all at VERY low prices.
It's a neighborhood bar but all strangers are welcome to drop in.

This is one of those typical beachside shops that sell t-shirts, shell jewelry, post-cards, souvenirs and kinda scary clothes! I went in to buy some batteries for my camera and to take a look at everything - especially the shell jewelry. I love seeing what new pastel colors they dye them!

Watch out! keep your dogs leashed and your small children near you if walking around any wooded areas or the beach at night here. the coyotes are on the prowl. My dog has been chased twice and my neighbor's dog was attacked. Two dogs have been killed so far.

Favorite thing: Nantasket Beach is gorgeous--a 4 mile long wide strip of sand and surf.
Fondest memory: I miss the view and the safe feeling of walking around the village any time of day or night. It's a small town just south of the big city of Boston.
