It's not just a bakery, folks. The best Cuban sandwiches around. In my personal top 3: the Cuban Sandwich, The Croqueta Preparada (croquette sandwich), and The Pan con Bistec (steak sandwich.) For a super sweet dessert try the "Cuatro Leches." It's also open 24H so come here after a late night of drinking when everything else is closed!

A short walk from our Airbnb, and since parking can get a bit crowded in the evenings and on weekends, we recommend you walk there (and you can walk off their massive portions of food later!) I highly recommend the hogfish. Keep in mind this place only serves a selection of wine and beer only (no margaritas or mojitos here!)

This is my favorite little beach in the Upper Keys. It's great for doing some some bathing, going for a swim, taking the kids, or even firing up the grill. There's a parking fee when you drive through the main entrance, but it's worth it because it is a lovely park. There's also a community swimming pool if you prefer.
