I don’t really “recommend” this place. It’s just so close you may end up here for the kids or drinks!(Extremely casual) From the condo, you can walk down the beach to lunch/dinner. Sit outside! This restaurant is designed for wet bathing suits and sandy feet. (Shoes required) Menu is basic. I like the wings and the fried pickles!

Local, family owned restaurant. I like their seafood (okayy, fried shrimp, fish and oysters!) and desserts! It's pricey like all the other joints around!

I’m going to be honest and tell you I haven’t eaten here. But, “they” say the bar food is cheap and yummy! Sometimes you just need a meal that’s not so expensive on vacay!

The BEST catch of the day I’ve had on the island! The sides are to die for. Everything is homemade. Drinks are just okay. SUPER friendly staff. The ambience could use some love. The food is worth it!!!

A classic to visit. Beautiful views and fresh seafood. Very simple menu. This is the boiled shrimp with crab cake special. Blackened tuna and conch fritters! Go early, there’s a wait!

A quiet little park on the intracoastal waterway. Good for fishing or just getting out in to nature. It's tucked away and somewhat small but you would miss it if you didn't know it was there! I like to get food from the nearby Public Super Market and have a picnic.

Head down the road and you dead end in to the old Fort Caswell. There is a guard on duty at the entrance. You are allowed to drive through (as long as you don't get out of your car) and look at the old forts. It is truly fascinating. There was never an actual battle here but SO MUCH HISTORY remains. Fort Caswell currently operates as a Christian, coastal retreat and conference center.
