The Portwood Pier Plaza sits at the west end of Evergreen Avenue. At dusk, tall surfboard silhouettes glow as lights come to life on the municipal pier. A handful of small restaurants and shops sit at the head of the pier, and at it’s end lucky visitors will find the Tin Fish, with fresh seafood and a view of the waves rolling in to the beach. Tell them I sent you, so I can collect my referral bonus at closing time – best fries this close to the border!” Sandbag C. Gull
