· BEST STRETCH OF BEACH

The 10 blocks from 65th to 75th streets sport only one high-rise hotel and no boardwalk. Couple this low density with the wideness of the beach, and you can usually secure an adequate piece of sand to spread your blanket. At 67th Street, music from the Holiday Inn wafts over the beach, and the hotel's bar is a welcome oasis. The downside? Limited parking.

· BEST LOCAL SNACK

At the Fractured Prune , owner Colleen Kaufman is a doughnut psychologist. If you're overwhelmed by which of the 19 flavors to order, she'll ask you: Is the crowd mostly older? (The over-50 crowd likes 'em dipped in fruit.) Are the kids boys or girls? (Girls like sprinkles, boys go for chocolate.) Your beach crowd will polish off a dozen still-warm doughnuts hand-dipped in everything from Oreos to graham cracker crumbs.

28th Street and Coastal Highway, 410-289-1134, or 127th Street and Coastal Highway, 410-250-4400, http://www.fracturedprune.com/ . $7.25 a dozen.

HONORABLE MENTIONS: If you've spent a lifetime of summers in O.C., you're yelling, "How could they not have picked Thrasher's french fries?" or "What about Fishers popcorn?" We like 'em, too.

Fishers (410-289-5638, http://www.fisherspopcorn.com/ ) is on the boardwalk at Talbot Street. Thrasher's (410-289-4150) has several locations on the boardwalk.

· BEST PIZZA

You can't get good pizza south of the Jersey shore, right? Wrong. Head to Lombardi's, where the crust folds just right and a very light sheen of grease glistens on the not-too-gooey mozzarella and savory marinara sauce.

94th Street and Coastal Highway, 410-524-1961, http://www.lombardisrestaurant.com/ . $11.75 for a large cheese pizza.

HONORABLE MENTION: Tony's Pizza and Ocean Deck (on the boardwalk at North Division Street, 410-289-8115), where the pizza is not only authentic, but you can order single slices ($2.54).
