It also has (or had) a dancing traffic cop...he used to do the Macarena in the middle of the street. That was quite a few years ago though, so I'm not sure if he's still there.

There are a whole bunch of little shops around there, so my mom used to drag the whole family out there whenever we used to go to the Cape during the summer.
