Despite its name, this is actually a great place to take kids. It’s right on the beach, and the water is shallow. It’s also a calm area, even on days when other areas of the island have big waves.

They also have a delicious assortment of non-alcoholic drinks in addition to their bar menu, and classic beachy food.
