Maybe it’s the location — the patio behind the Bon-Aire is literally on the beach. Or the clientele — you’re mingling with happy guests at a small resort that’s kept people coming back for close to 60 years. Or perhaps it’s just the burgers and dogs: perfectly grilled, generously sized, and accompanied by excellent fries and super-fresh condiments. For all these reasons — the delicious food, the relaxed vibe, the killer view — a meal at SandBar Bill’s will make you feel like you’ve stumbled onto a private cookout. (Be careful that you don’t leave your car in a guest parking spot, though — those are private.)
