Food Scene

Wonderful place for breakfast. It gets really crowded, but when you get a table make sure to get the burrito. It is HUGE and made with fresh eggs.

Right on the water. Best hamburgers and fries. They salt the beer lids and their turbo pina colada is one of the best drinks you'll ever have.

BEST ahi tuna we have ever eaten. Their scalloped potatoes are absolutely amazing. The wait is sometimes long, but the service is outstanding. May be pricey for families with lots of kids, but if you are a group of couples we HIGHLY recommend Sea Ranch!!

BEST handmade pasta on the island. I cannot rave enough about the place. We go at least once if not twice when we visit. The food is OUTSTANDING - from the homemade butter for the warm bread they bring to your table, the gigantic portions and very reasonable prices- you have to eat here. You won't be sorry!!

Flights of the beer they make onsite, cheese curds, fried pickles, fresh oysters and super friendly staff make this a great place for HH or a dinner with your family. Sit on the deck and you can watch the sunset over the bay.

AMAZING breakfasts. Gets extremely busy, but their food will satisfy even your pickiest eater. I love the breakfast quesidillas where I add sausage and bacon- perfection. They also have a cinnamon coffee that hits the spot.

Can't believe the freshness of their seafood. Fish cooked 3 ways. Crab fingers are the best I have ever eaten and you cannot beat the buckets of beer. Not a place to dress up for, come as you are and don't judge the decor- you'll want to go back during your stay so make sure to do it towards the beginning!

To Do

You can see how SPI is making a difference in helping wounded turtles recover and get put back into the ocean. They also have hatchling releases which you can see on the north end of the island. It is a beautiful thing.

Nightlife & Bars

Hopper Haus is AWESOME! The food, atmosphere and beer selection is fantastic. Sitting outside is great- you really feel like you are on vacation instead of the back of a building
