State of the Art

Lighthouse ArtCenter Gallery and School of Art

Creativity feels refreshingly approachable at this nonprofit mainstay. Adults and kids alike can dive into classes in ceramics, watercolor, fused glass, jewelry-making, and more—no experience required. Led by seasoned working artists who encourage rather than criticize, classes range from one-day workshops to multi-week sessions, all designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and make art genuinely fun.

Cold Comfort

Village Scoop Shack Ice Cream and Cereal Bar

Is it breakfast or dessert? You don’t have to choose at this family-owned spot, where ice cream gets a playful twist. Stop in and customize your own “drilled” creation; servers will blend any cereal you like—from Fruity Pebbles to Cap’n Crunch—directly into scoops of ice cream for a fully infused flavor. (My go-to is Dulce de Leche ice cream with Cinnamon Toast Crunch mixed in.) With dozens of cereal options, shakes, and mix-ins, every order is a nostalgic, one-of-a-kind treat.

Squeeze the Day

Golden Juicery

Clean eating comes easy here. The menu centers on fresh-pressed juices like Green Cleanse and Immune Tonic, alongside smoothies and wellness shots packed with nutrient-dense ingredients. Made with organic, high-quality produce, everything is designed for grab-and-go convenience without sacrificing flavor or function. Pro tip: Order the azure-hued Blue Lagoon (cold-pressed blue spirulina, apple, cucumber, and lemon juices) and thank me later.

New to You

Tequesta Exchange Boutique

This women-owned boutique curates gently used clothing, shoes, and accessories—from Lilly Pulitzer and Lululemon to vintage finds—while skipping fast fashion. Inventory is constantly refreshed as new consignments come in. Think of it as a fashion treasure hunt: you never know what you might find—and that’s the fun of it!
