I think that most people go to Sunset Cafe to see the arriving planes practically land on their heads. And believe me, it's so much fun that it's worth it just to go for that reason. That sad, our food was great bar fare! I had grouper fingers and fries which were delicious; and my husband had calamari which was... more

We went here a couple of times and it is amazing!! The planes taking off and landing 50 feet from you and your beer is incredible. The place is ok in terms of looks,but they were doing it over since it was wrecked by a hurricane last summer and it will look better. We didnt eat here, just drinks, but... more

A must do!

When someone told me, go to this bar and watch the plans take off and land, I was thinking - who cares. However, I was soon corrected, while sipping a Presidente in the sun and watching plane after plane descend across the lovely Caribbean water to land right next to us. Even better is the jet takeoff and the propulsion... more

Great place for a cold one and to plane & people watch. Here's a clue for the dim witted parents out there...this place advertises that topless women drink free....HELLO...if that is something you don't want your kids to see....DON'T GO THERE, try somewhere more family appropriate. (people should be requred to take IQ tests before reproducing!!!) more

The place was disgusting, food was lousy, drinks are drinks, but there were a bunch of dirty stray dogs all around and in the place where the big TV is, fleas etc, cockroaches all over the condiment stand. If you are drunk you don't notice. more

Fun place.

Sunset Beach Bar is cool because you can watch the planes land RIGHT above your head. It is right at the end of the run way. Yes, people actually can get blown over by the big planes! The drinks are cheap in the evenings, usually there is a special drink for that night. The food is decent, nothing extraordinary, but... more

During the day this is a typical shack type restaurant. Don’t expect the food to be amazing. My mom did get sick one time eating here but the rest of the people we went with were fine. I think it just depends on what you order. The location is good for watching the planes land and the idiots who get... more

This establishment advertises locally that" TOPLESS WOMEN DRINK FREE" so if you plan to visit, you might want to do a fly by and make sure there is nothing that might offend you or things you may not be to excited about your kids seeing. generally the topless drinkers dont show until dark,but i have seen them at all hours... more

Go for the view. Avoid eating there. Both my kids got sick right after - I can't say it's from the food, but I would bet it is. The fries smelled like fish. Some beers are half the regular size. The service was atrocious; the only thing our waitress said was about the tip. The ketchup dispenser splashed my daughter... more

OK Simply put, this is the mecca of aviation photography. Bring your cameras and get a beer and burger as you'll have plenty to take pictures of and enjoy the beach. This place does get a bit crowded though after more and more planes land, go figure. The beach was great in March of 05, next time we stop by... more
