Food scene
Great local eatery with healthy options including plant-based and gluten free menus. Breakfast and Lunch. Organic smoothies, full coffee bar, cold pressed juices, French crêpes, Buddha bowls, grilled burritos, paninis, wraps, salads and more! Wine, beer and cocktails too… We own this restaurant but it is the kind of eatery we look for when we travel, colorful, fun and somewhat healthy.

Beach
This is my favorite beach/State Park. You can walk all the way to the Southern tip and see dolphins. During the Spring sea turtles come and lay eggs and baby turtles can be spotted after the Summer when the eggs hatch. Also a bird sanctuary during the Summer months.
