Probably one of the more “scene-y” places on the island. Great, old school cocktails (my favorite is the paper plane), and awesome food.

Traveler advice
Getting around
Bikes!
So easy to bike everywhere! Wheelz is always reliable! Also, the Dunes buggy will take you anywhere in Palmetto Dunes or Shelter Cove. Totally the way to go for beach days as parking is tough
