The location on the water is great, they serve drinks and you can eat al fresco. If you're up for a long bike ride, it's a destination spot by the marina.

This is where everyone heads to watch the sunsets on the docks. Even if you don't eat here, make sure you catch at least one sunset from this spot during your stay. Bring your camera! This is where I took the photo on the cover of my guidebook.

This is the restaurant with the best parking. They now have outdoor seating and plenty of tables. Very cozy and serve breakfast on Sundays but call before you go because I'm not sure this is year round.

This is one of my favorite places to grab a beer and some barbecue! Very casual with some semi outdoor seating. Giants salads and big portions. The heavenly smells from the smoker will probably greet you before you catch sight of it on the way there!

Beaches

This is by far the most beautiful beach in the vicinity. Take a sunny and informative 50 minute ferry ride over and spend the day. Cayo Costa is a neighboring barrier island with no vehicles only accessible by boat. Ask me for the link to tickets when you book.
