Carmen’s Haunt’s
There are so many wonderful food and watering joints on the island! I am going to mention a few of my favorites that, in my opinion, are "can't misses". I have also included some of my other favorites "haunts". See if you agree!

LUNCH
A visit to the island means a visit to The Sandbar for island-y cocktails with pineapple and umbrellas and a light lunch. Sitting outside and watching the waves peel away on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico is so peaceful and serene it eliminates the need for psychiatric help!
