Taco stands, long beach lunches and the late crowd. Our picks first, then everything we've mapped.
Setting
Good for
Seafood · Main Beach
A two-level palapa on the main beach since 1994: Mediterranean cooking with Mexican touches off a mesquite grill, red beet ravioli, spicy tuna tostadas, and tables on the sand at sunset. Mondays bring a salsa class at 7 and a Cuban band at 8.
Seafood · South end of main beach
A deck three metres above the sand at the calm south end of the main beach, run by a family of local fishermen: ceviche, seared tuna and the day's catch, cocktails made with house shrubs, and a 3 to 5pm happy hour.
Happy hour 3–5pm
Beach clubs · North Side
Trendy beach club with a pool, loungers and no roaming vendors. Music is loud, so it's more party than relaxation.
