Great views of all the boats heading in and out of port while you sit outside and enjoy good food and drinks in a laid back atmosphere where the kids can run in the sand along the seawall. All seating outside, plan appropriately. We love this place, but you might want to discreetly bring a water bottle of your own, because they do not have tap water at their drink fountain. You have to buy a bottle of water or fountain drink.
