About a 5-minute walk from the house. Beaches is literally on the beach, sit on the patio and enjoy delicious drinks and Vilano's gorgeous sunsets. This place is my number one.

A chill place to grab a beer, and a cigar if you're into it, and relax. Inside is a little small for me, but their outside area is centered around a communal fire pit. I've made more than a few friends from nights at Stogies, so it will always have a special place in my heart.
