This nightclub has a casual, beach-type feel, especially on Wednesday nights from April through August, when the Southeast Bikini Competition attracts beach-loving women from all over the country. These competitions have been popular throughout the Southeast since they began in 1986. On most evenings Cracker Jack's features chic, reliable DJs who spin all types of music before 1am. After that, it's all techno. If you like to do more than dance at a club, there's a rear deck, a large bar, a full-service restaurant and a game room stocked with pool tables and video games. The crowd varies; the Tuesday and Friday Caroline Beach Shag nights draw older clubgoers, but the later it gets, the younger the crowds become. -- Carolyn Turgeon
