They have the best of the beach food. It’s much quieter than the others, due to its location. Happy hour all day. All beach toys are available for rent. If you want a QUIET day on the beach, this is the one. In front of Club Cascades. Better to take a taxi or a water taxi.
This includes all the beach bars closer to the inner harbor. (All are walking distance from down town). Billygan’s Island, Mango Deck, Baja Cantina Beach, are all excellent beach bars. They all have 2X1 drinks and buckets of beer all day. This is where the partying starts and ends each day, all day. Beach umbrellas are available at each bar. Some of the contests may be a little mature for young children. If you don't like walking, take a water taxi from the inner harbor.
