Seafood dominates the dining scene here with everything from casual beachside grills to upscale waterfront restaurants. Most accommodation is beachfront resorts and holiday rental condos with stunning Gulf views. Getting around requires a car or rideshare, but a seasonal beach trolley connects the major spots during peak tourist months.
