Eva: Welcome!

-grocery stores: Pueblo is fine for packaged stuff, rum, etc. If you need produce, the Fruit Bowl is not too far away. There are a lot of rumors about Gourmet Gallery falling on hard times, but you can check them for more interesting liquor and wine selections, gourmet type items. If you have a car, Cost-U-Less, Food Center, and Moe's all have more upscale products than Pueblo. Not sure what kind of small plates you want, but most restaurants will do take-out.

-Personally, I wouldn't go to any of the really off-the-beaten path beaches... Less "touristy" would include Hull Bay and Brewer's Bay. On the beach bar list, I always include Iggie's at Bolongo. Latitude at night for the band and great food. People love Abi. Hull Bay for fish tacos on Monday. If you belong to a yacht club, you probably have reciprocity with ours- STYC- Dinners Tuesday and Friday, lunch the other days except Monday.
