A nice relaxed restaurant on beautiful Bucerias Beach. Bucerias is a very nice beach with a more relaxed atmosphere than the beaches in town. Spend a day at the beach and have lunch and some drinks at Karen's.

The island is nice for walking in the day. A favorite spot is Le Bistro, elegant white tablecloth dining on the river with a piano bar -- great for early breakfast or dinner out.
Abrazos on the north part of the island is a fun bar, a bit of a dive, great for late nights and an easy walk to the house if you walk up the steps of the suspension bridge to Matamoros street.
