The best of the Boca de Yuma's seafront restaurants, La Bahia is an efficient and friendly, family-run operation dishing out all manner of delectable delights from the sea: whole fish, fresh lobster and so on. Empanadas filled with fish, chicken or conch are massive. Ocean views from the 2nd-floor dining area are spectacular.
