Azzurro
The restaurant is located near the lighthouse in the Los Lagos part of town with its shallow pools and scrubby desert setting. At this place overlooking the beach, with a pretty peach-painted interior, the menu includes fish fillet in lemon and basil and a tasty pasta dish with mushrooms and prawns in a nest of parmesan cheese.

Aguayre
This is a trendy Tex Mex-cum-Italian-cum-vegetarian restaurant. Come here with an appetite and tuck into one of the piled-high salads, California wraps or a sizzling volcano pizza with chilli, mushrooms and hot peppers.

Restaurante Fusion
Enjoys a good, central location with a solid traditional menu, outside tables and a pleasant indoor dining space with a quirky wall display of ancient nails. Kick-start your appetite with a dish of ropa vieja (literally, 'old clothes'), made with beef, peppers and chickpeas from a peasant recipe. Grilled tuna, garlic with octopus and grilled aubergine slices with goat's cheese and honey are similar culinary winners.

Dive Inn
The friendly and supremely helpful staff at Dive Inn will take you to all the best spots for scuba diving (courses and equipment hire available) and can help out with tips about the surrounding area. Snorkelling gear is available for those who prefer to float on the water's surface, and there's also a nifty snorkelling course available.

Restaurante La Vaca Azul
Enjoys prime position overlooking the pebbly beach, although the surreal rooftop cow (floodlit in lurid blue at night) has the best spot. The menu includes paella, vegetarian kebabs and mixed fish grill (minimum two people). The place doubles as a gallery for local photographers and artists.

Castillo del Tostón
Castillo del Tostón is not really a castle, more a Martello tower. There's a sight-and-sound exhibit, a display of arsenal and you can climb to the top for sweeping views of the surf beach with its bizarre clump of sculptures by French artist Kadir Attia.

If you need to hire surfing gear, including surfboards, body boards and wetsuits, visit the Cycle & Surf Shop, a friendly little shop beside the Last Resort bar. It also rents out bicycles.

Heaven
Come here for your HP sauce fix. Fish and chips, kebabs and chicken tikka are also on the menu, plus Guinness on tap. The name says it all: this place is heaven for deprived Brits.
