just around the block, head over for $9 beer flights with very generous pours and elevated bar bites. The fish tacos are some of the island’s best, and the burgers and flatbreads are great as well. You can also build your own pizza, or bring in a fresh catch and they’ll cook it up for you.

Great for lunch, though often closed during dinner. Build your own ceviche or poke from the freshest ingredients and top with their house-made sauces. Great for getting takeaway and eating on the beach or patio!
