Great food and a seriously great jalapeño-infused tequila they make and the best signature drink with it the owner's (wife) recipe. on the beach, chairs to enjoy everything outside in a well-kept secret, Navarre beach. Just across the bridge is a park that locals know about that doesn't get too crowded in the summer, as well. There is also a Dewey's right next to our condo--have not been yet--the signature drink there is different, may be just as good, just don't know yet!
