Happy Belly's
BURGERS, SEAFOOD $
( 398-9452;Rte4466;dishes $5-17; lunch &dinner)
When the swell is good you
could almost surf right up to the verandah here. Perched above magnificent Playa Jobos,
Happy Belly's offers front-row seats to one of Puerto Rico's most visually dazzling surfing
'shows.' The menu is straightforward burgers and fish, but this place is more about setting
than scrumptious cuisine. Order a cold Medalla beer and grab a wooden booth among the
suntanned surf groupies and boogie boarders. Amazing sunsets are usually only the first
spectacle of the evening - this place loves to party.

Tiny glowing lights and wavy green plants give this restaurant a relaxed, romantic
atmosphere that perfectly complements the seafood dishes. The indoor setting is surpris-
ingly formal, but the deck hosts casual surfers in for a drink. The owner is famous for his
secret salmon recipe. Live music nightly. Rooms available.

Getting There & Away
The easiest way to access the region, from San Juan or the west coast, is via the four-lane
Hwy 22. But to really enjoy this area (and its lack of traffic), you need to get off the main
highway and explore the back roads.
No públicos serve these back roads or beach areas such as Playa Jobos.
