A beer with a view.
Jersey sunsets have to be seen to be believed. Unsurprisingly, they’re even better with beer. When the sun sinks low, grab a front row seat at El Tico Beach Cantina, one of Jersey’s best surf spots, to unwind with a beer as the light breaks over the ocean. Snuggle under a blanket with a piping Thai jungle curry or just chill as the surfers catch the last waves at The Watersplash as you suck a bottle of Jersey’s newest craft beer, Stinky Bay IPA.
