Great seafood. Nice outdoor space overlooking the harbor. Be there in time for sunset. Beautiful sunsets in this area. Check to see if they are open before going. You park on the street and walk down between two houses to get to this little restaurant.

Boqueron is a pretty place to visit. Spend a day at the beach. There is a long beach so you can pick your favorite spot. Beautiful sandy bottom and blue water.
Or go for the nightlife. After dark the main strip comes alive as a great hot spot for food, drinks, and fun.
