We will need to sample these other restaurants. They all look good. We love the beaches.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Beaches are absolutely beautiful but the food was terrible. We live in an area of world class dining and the food we found in and around Half Moon was reheated frozen food. Would only go back for a day trip for the beach and bring our own food.

Love HMB. Small town feel despite heavy tourist rush on weekends.
