Adult Beverage
Big Beach is another great place to visit. It is also right up the street from the house and is the only local brewery on the island. They do not serve food at the brewery but allow you to bring food from other places.

This is my favorite place for a beer. It is kinda a "dive bar" and is an old house on piling. It backs up to the lagoon and is a right place to watch the sunset (besides the beach of course.)
