Oceanside, waterfront dining. One of our favorite restaurants and a great value. Portions are very large. I suggest having an appetizer and share an entrée. I would say go to Marker 88, Morada Bay, or Lorelei for sunset and then to Lazy Days for dinner. Alligator Lighthouse can be seen in the distance.
