Nearby Island Splendor

Stop by local favorite the Fat Pelican, voted as one of “The 32 Diviest Dive Bars in America” by impulcity.com, thanks to its legendary walk-in cooler and a bar made out of a boat. You can also groove to the tunes from local and regional bands at The Ocean Grill & Tiki Bar, named one of “America’s Best Beach Bars” by Thrillist.com, and Seawitch Café & Tiki Bar, which features a regular lineup of live entertainment.
