Food scene
Jimmy's on the Pier
9001 Seawall BlvdJimmy’s has great drinks and food with an amazing view.
A short drive or a 10 minute walk from your stay. One of my favorite places on the island to eat. I eat here every time. Just make sure you order before you sit otherwise it will remind you of a scene from Seinfeld.
