Sol y Mar

This friendly, open-air restaurant and bar is undeniably the social (and culinary) center of this tiny beach town. The menu is long and varied, ranging from the fresh daily catch in a Thai coconut-curry sauce to dry-rubbed beef served with basil butter. There are also plenty of bar food staples, as well as twice-weekly barbeque nights. If there’s live music in town, it’s likely to be here, and the Sunday horseshoe tournament is a beloved tradition.
