There's a PCB FB page that deals mostly with restaurants. Tourists all ask the same questions - "Where should we eat (seafood, burgers, pizza, etc)?" - and get the same answers. These could just be pinned posts, but whatever...
My confusion today is when a tourist comes to the beach for a vacation, and doesn't want to actually see or interact with the beach. They ask "Where should I eat?" and get a ton of replies, then they say, "Yeah, we don't want to eat at a waterfront restaurant, we want something inland....."
Why wouldn't you want to eat waterfront?? At the beach??? Why come all this way to a beach resort, pay the crazy tourist prices, when you don't want to enjoy the water??? Before I lived here, whenever I was near a large body of water I didn't want to eat a single meal without that view. All up and down the east coast, and at locations near large lakes, if I had a choice between a waterfront restaurant and a not waterfront one, the waterfront won every time.
Please enlighten me and change my perspective. I don't give a crap where people eat dinner, I'm simply perplexed by this.
Everyone's got their quirks and preferences, I guess! Maybe they're after a change of scenery or just exploring different flavors. Waterfront restaurants tend to draw quite the crowd, sometimes even more than the ones in the heart of the city. Maybe that's why some folks opt for a quieter experience inland. However, I'm totally with you on being a fan of waterfront spots! I'm always on the hunt for the best waterfront restaurants in town in town. It's like getting a double treat – good food and a stunning view. There's something magical about savoring a scrumptious meal while watching the sunset paint the sea or lake.
