Food Scene
Charlie, Jonathon and crew makes great juices and Acai bowls. Hip open air cafe with reggae, hammocks and street art. There is now an outpost a few hundred yards down the beach from the villa. If you are looking at the beach from the unit, make a left, walk to the beach club and look for the painted trailer.

One of the best ocean front restaurants in the Northeast of PR. It's on the famed La Pared beach and the food and drinks definitely make it feel like a surf bar.

It's a 20-25 minute drive, but oh so worth it. The best dinner we have had in Puerto Rico. An old gas station turned into a great restaurant.
