  2. Sorveteria Boca Gelata

    With three dozen flavors of self-serve ice cream, this is a great place to ward off the midday heat or enjoy a late night dessert. Be bold and try some of the less conventional offerings - fig with cognac and walnuts is surprisingly tasty, as are corn and plum flavors.

  10. O Pescador

    The cozily furnished, romantically lit Pescador is one of the island’s best choices for a fancy beachfront dinner.
