    Inspired by Jimmy Buffet, you can enjoy a cheeseburger in paradise at the Margaritaville PCB Restaurant.

    Enjoy great vacation music, tropical drinks, great food, and fun for the entire family just steps from the beach.

    We really enjoyed the air-conditioned inside seating on a hot day. Paired with our favorite frosty brew and an appetizer platter, we were able to cool off and enjoy a little island time.

    This is a restaurant I would plan to spend a bit of time in. The service matched the island-time vibe...we had more than enough time to check out all of the fun decorations.

    The indoor seating is a feast for the senses. You don't know where to look at first with the huge airplane hanging from the ceiling, music videos playing on the sailboat sail, and art all over the place.
