Visitors have a chance to see a unique part of Florida with beautiful stalagmites and stalactites in a cave system. One section even has colorful lights illuminating the features. It’s a great way to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer since the temperature is the same year around.

I love the setting on the bay and the lovely view from the bar. The restaurant features an underwater theme, and the food is magnificent! There are some interesting drinks on the menu and they serve my favorite dessert, crème brûlée. You can hang out downstairs on the deck, and sometimes they have a fire pit going on the little sand beach area

This is really just a little bar with an outdoor seating area that sometimes has food trucks. Sometimes they also have events like car shows and cornhole tournaments. It’s a quaint little place and like the name suggest it’s very chill. There’s a house with a porch and the bar inside. If you are heading to the beach, this is a good stop on the way back.
