our story
thirty years on this sand
our family put a few chairs on an empty piece of médano and started selling cold beer to whoever walked past. a couple of hurricanes and a great many margaritas later it is still the family running it, and still the first place open on the beach every morning.

are kids welcome?
yes, and at lunch there are usually plenty.
can we bring the dog?
