Royal Beach Club Santorini

Order a fresh guarapo and take a look at the little garden and animals out the back.
This is an open-air fruit stand right on the main street in Little Havana. It looks like an old-school market with crates of tropical fruits like mangoes and papayas stacked everywhere. They even keep some chickens and pigs in the back, which is a bit surprising to see in the middle of the city.
The main reason to visit is for the fresh guarapo. They crush raw sugarcane through a press to make a cold, sweet drink while you watch. It’s a simple, local spot to grab a snack or a juice while you explore the neighborhood.
A true Calle Ocho landmark. The fresh guarapo was the perfect first stop, ice cold and exactly what the heat called for.

Location
At 1334 SW 8th Street, right on Calle Ocho near SW 13th Avenue. It is an open-air stand, so you can spot it straight from the street.
