Beach season is upon us, and we asked the folks in the newsroom to share with us their own beach-related Five Faves! Five on Your Side's Monica Laliberte gave us her Five Favorite Beach restaurants:

 

Freddie's (Kure Beach) - Family owned Italian – Barb’s salad dressing and sauce are to die for! So is the bread.. and the chicken parmesan and the mushroom ravioli.. and the peach/pecan pork chops.. you get the idea.

traveler

Surfhouse (Carolina Beach) -  GREAT sandwiches – my FAVORITE tuna salad anywhere! Can’t go wrong with ANY of the offerings!

Jack Mackarals (Kure Beach) - BIG portions; great, interesting salads! Fresh seafood!

Carolina Beach

Havana's (Carolina Beach)Pretty atmosphere – love the shrimp cobb salad AND free entertainment: you watch the town fireworks from the outdoor patio!

Deck House (Carolina Beach)In an converted old church, very cool. Good seafood.

Bonus pick: Britts Donuts (Carolina Beach) - One kind—glazed. Buy a dozen, you will eat them ALL!

 

Look for more of our Five Faves Beach picks throughout June!

Are you headed to the beach this weekend?
