We had heard from a friend we should try Blalocks on Canal Road for take out. We ordered 3 lbs of peeled, de-veined, tail- on shrimp with regular seasoning along with the other items listed in the title. Requested it be hot when we picked it up, which was about an hour. The dinner was for 4 adults and was outstanding! We had plenty leftover and the shrimp was great the next day cold. Highly recommend them!!!

Perfect spot for little children because it’s the between the ocean and bay protected from the bigger waves. Under the bridge there is a shallow area perfect for wading toddlers and also the piers from which the teens to jump. We loved this area. Great access and balance. We took our canopy, cooler, chairs... There are restrooms showers and a few drink stands for lemonade or snow cones. We went back here the second beach day too!
