Restaurants such as Waterfront Pizza and Nifty Fifties on Water Street had lines stretching out of their buildings as large crowds of tourists packed the street Tuesday afternoon. The crowds were in sharp contrast to the sparse tourist season the community saw last summer after the COVID-19 pandemic began. The nice weather is expected to continue through the end of next week with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to mid-70s. (Zach Jablonski/Peninsula Daily News)
