It's on the other end of the beach (under the condo with the blue ribbon wrapped around it) but if you are coming home from St Andrews State Park or down that way for Ripleys Museum or Wonderworks, don't miss out on grabbing a bite to eat here.

This place is great for seeing and reading about weird and wonderful things. The original owner was a collector of unusual artifacts and after collecting way too many things, he put them all on display and opened them up for the public to view. He carried on collecting and now there are many Ripley museums in the country. They all switch stock now and again so you never know what you will see when you go there.
