Just north of the lighthouse in Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, this casual eatery serves sandwiches, fish and chips, grilled meats and desserts. Or you can stop in for housemade sangria and other liquid refreshment. There's fine views from the outdoor tables overlooking the greenery leading down to the beach.
