the columns is an older beach home turned into a restaurant. everyone loves a restaurant on the shore, especially one so close you can hear the waves crashing, the children laughing, the seagulls cooing and the salty scent of the sea always lingering around your noses. the columns is a fairly nice restaurant, with a porch running all along the house. it may be difficult to get a table out on the deck, but it's worth the experience.
