A Smith Island institution combining the community’s general store with waterfront dining and cold drinks, the Harborside is the kind of gathering place that only survives in the most remote and tightly-knit communities: where the bar and the store and the community center are all the same building. Smith Island cake, blue crabs, and the singular experience of drinking a cold beer at the edge of the Chesapeake Bay on one of the last islands the outside world hasn’t managed to ruin.
