I have two words for you... HUSH PUPPIES!!! Fins is very popular so go early. If you have a long wait, order a drink and hang out on the patio. You're on island time!

Now I've only had the avocado toast from here, but it's definitely worth recommending. I got the one with Nutella, strawberry slices, feta cheese and avocado. I know, it's sounds weird, but it's delicious! Someday I'll try a poke bowl and sake :)

Surfside Lounge shares space with Barefoot Beans, and provides adult beverages if you're not feeling the coffee. What a great vibe this place has!

I have to go to the Beach Lodge every time I come to Port A! Its a 20 minute walk down the beach heading toward downtown. Totally laid back atmosphere. The servers are a riot. Definitely do not go there if you are in a rush or expect a gourmet meal. This place is for chillin' by the beach with a cold beer or wine-a-rita, eating some munchies, and embracing island time!

If you like tacos, Irie's is the place! But go early because once they run out, you're out of luck. Another great option is the shrimped fried rice.
