Definitely a throw back. Kitschy, movie-Moroccan decor, handmade (while you watch) tortillas for the table, rumpus room bar, okay eats.

On the beach just south of the pier.
Map
Large expanse with focused play areas. Gobs to do, the full compliment of playground paraphernalia: swings, climbing ropes, monkey bars, a padded deck…rings even. Grassy gymnastics field. Enough stuff to tire out any brood. Rest rooms. Parking adjacent and nearby. Food? Head towards the pier.

METRO SURF on 0320 2008
If surfing is the new golf—and I think we can all agree that it kinda is—then Venice is one of those hardscrabble city courses. Balthustrol the breakwater ain’t…
