On a rocky promontory of land at the far western end of Guardalavaca beach, this glass-walled restaurant is a fine spot to spend a few hours dining and sea gazing. The 180-degree view is outrageous. Somehow it didn't get blown away by Hurricane Ike in 2008. Come here for excellent lobster served on white linen and decent service.
