The Hangar Restaurant & Flight Lounge
540 1st St SRestaurant overlooking the private Albert Whitted airport.
This restaurant is a long-standing local favorite for casual (and filling) Mexican food and margaritas, day or night. No frills. Has a patio for outdoor seating out back. Across the street, you can access the beach through the Bilmar/Sloppy Joe's. Beware: you'll find this beach is relatively deep - as in, the walk from the start of the sand to the water is a long one if you're lugging a cooler and chairs, so travel light!
