represent its own subculture of divers, surfers, fishermen, and anyone who loves the sound of surf and sand in their shoes. Popular dishes include the Seared Mahi Poke Bowl, and their famous Boca Style Shack Fish sandwich or basket. Have a blast in the afternoon with
an adventure high above the waves with
