Food within walking distance
Literally right next to the resort. Known for frozen drinks (alcoholic and non). Great food, outdoor seating, beautiful ocean views, and you can get to the bar from the beach and bring those refillable cups back to the beach!

Amazing, authentic Mexican food with a small menu but well worth it. Its in what looks like a strip mall underneath Laketown Wharf Resort and there is seating inside or outside by the lake.

Family owned restaurant with home-cooked breakfast menu, pastries, homemade donuts, and delicious coffee. Very popular with locals and they run out of items later in the morning so get there decently early.

Huge restaurant right on the beach. A bit of a drive to get down to that end of the island (20 min), but it’s worth it. They have a “sunset bell” down by the beach that has local historical significance. Indoor gift shop that’s surprisingly very cool. Plethora of indoor and outdoor seating for your whole group.

Local Attractions
Something for everyone to do here! Shopping, dining, entertainment…the list goes on! Very clean outdoor mall. Our favorite activities are axe throwing, ferris wheel, and the Yard Milkshake Bar. We would not recommend eating at either of the large resturants at the end of the mall (Pompano Joe's and Backyard) as they are overpriced and very average food.
