    This all-day Mexican kitchen is one of those ‘if you know you know’ kind of spots. Order from the window and try to nab one of the few tables outside.

    With its terracotta lime-washed interior, infinity pool, and beachfront access, Sandbox Beach Club would seamlessly fit in at any high-end resort in the world. Yet this beach bar and restaurant doesn’t coast on sunkissed looks alone.
