Food Scene

The lunch special is a great deal and it is a unique type of Brazilian food you won’t find in most places. There is something for everyone there: vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, meat lover! Our favorite are the Moquecas. Dining with harbor views no matter where you sit. It’s a nice walk from the Hollywood Beach Retreat, or you can take one of our several bikes on over!

They are open early with a great cup of coffee or tea and full breakfast. They have vegan and gluten free waffles and baked goods along with a full egg and ham breakfast.

Every Sunday, 10am-2pm Located in the parking lot outside of the Marine Emporium Landing. We love it because it’s rare to have a farmers market so close to a farming town and with fish from the catch that morning. Approximately 6 blocks. Next to Honey Cup. It’s a nice walk from the Hollywood Beach Retreat or a quick bike ride on one of our many bikes.
