Family friendly restaurant, arguably the most popular place on the beach. Large menu including sushi which is excellent. Also a fun place to watch or join in on a game of volleyball. Secret tip: the sushi room and the beach tiki bar both serve the full menu and are first come first serve. Also try the Yelp waitlist for faster seating.

Family friendly restaurant on island time. Always busy. Be prepared for a lengthy wait, but in my opinion, this is the best seafood on the beach.
