"If you need a respite from the squeals of children fueled by cotton candy, look no further than The Beach House. Just a few minutes from Fantasy Island, the charming Beach Haven restaurant has an expansive menu with all the Italian-meets-seafood hits. The linguine in a garlicky clam sauce and creamy penne a la vodka with scallops and shrimp are both standouts, as are the barbecue ribs (we’re just as confused as you are, but they’re delicious nonetheless). Get a table on the front porch to enjoy the breezes and people watching, with not a skeeball machine in sight." - Alison B. Kessler
