Coastal Quiet with a View
Harrisonโs Harbor Watch
If a quiet restaurant atmosphere is what youโre looking for, Harrisonโs Harbor Watch is the perfect place for you.

Large windows give the dining room a romantic glow as the sun sets over West Ocean City.

This past Friday, Spain Wine Bar, celebrated a new look to their indoor/outdoor space.
