Hit the national park. It's cool. You can ATV, mountain bike, hike, etc.  Rent a Jeep and cruise the NP and go to nearly deserted Baby Beach on the east side. Malmok Beach had very good snorkeling and wasn't very busy. Parking is right off the road. One tip is that every beach has free locals parking even if it looks like it's resort only.  So if you rent a car, it's easy to park and use any beach.  

Restaurant wise, it can be expensive but there's a lot of variety though.  I really liked Cuba Cookin'. The owner/chef is from Cuba.  Chalan, a Peruvian restaurant, was great. Matthew's is excellent seafood, pricey, and beach front dining. Pelican Pier was a typical cheesy beach bar on a pier but holy fuck the seafood was great. My kids got the fried fish fingers and it may have been some of the best fried fish I've ever eaten.  There's a really good Argentinian steak house but I didn't go there.
