Dig your toes in the sand and grab a cold drink while you bask in the sun and listen to the waves. Our shores have no shortage of fantastic drinks. Choose from craft beers, coastal cocktails, bushwackers, and, of course, margaritas. Be sure to pack your Hawaiian shirts, beach chairs, and a shaker of salt!
