Where to Eat – Restaurants

Bars and restaurants by the beach or near the center serve beach people during the summer season. On the menu, the specialties are seafood, but other options can be found. They are meals or snacks in large portions and made in the Azorean way. The ingredients are fresh, as the fish, shrimp, squid, etc. are taken to restaurants as soon as they are caught. During the summer, there are also snack bars and bars open day and night. This great gastronomic offer tends to decrease in the low season, as the beach is inhabited only by permanent residents. There are medium-sized supermarkets, fishmongers and butchers for those who want to cook at home. If your idea is not to dig your feet out of the sand on the beach, don't worry. During the summer, street vendors constantly pass by offering drinks such as water, beer, soda and some drinks, popsicles and snacks, such as peanuts, corn, hot cheese, cotton candy, etc.
