This place is absolutely stunning!

Lochabar beach
10 Aria Everly

We absolutely loved our stay at Harbor Breeze. The accommodations were top-notch, with luxurious bedding and impeccable cleanliness. The property offers a wide range of amenities, including large TVs and fast wifi. Make sure to take advantage of the private beach during your visit.

Chez Pierre beach
2 Lara Mitchell

We had heard great things about this restaurant and made a 40-minute drive to get there. Sadly, the chef turned out to be impolite and unpleasant. Our group of four was so appalled by the behavior that we immediately decided to turn back and drive another 40 minutes to our accommodations without even stepping foot inside the restaurant. The food may be delicious, but nobody wants to dine in such an unenjoyable atmosphere.

Cape Santa Maria beach
