If you are into locally sourced food that is a little swanky, this is your spot. The food is always just as beautiful as it is interesting. I wouldn’t be surprised if the chef here gets a Michelin Star for his culinary expertise.

The trip out to Ship Island is just as much fun as the beautiful white sandy beaches when you arrive! This is a must do if you are here during summer months. I’ve seen dolphins every time I have taken the ferry to the island too!
