Lunches are tasty and cheaper. Dinners are a treat but delicious. Menu can sometimes be limiting for vegetarians but I’ve always made it work by getting creative. Waiters are always friendly.

Drivable or bikeable from the house there’s a small parking lot, a bench, and you can walk around the island being mindful of nature. Pack a picnic and make a day of it for slightly different beach view. Take warning of the tides and swimming is discouraged as this is an inlet and even strong swimmers can be surprised.
