Ever notice how many of your beach vacay pics are of you eating and drinking your way through your trip? You and a plate of conch fritters. You in the luau buffet line. You sipping a drink with fruit hanging off the rim.

Now you can enjoy staycation-style treats sans the travel costs at Surrey’s La Playa Juiceteria. This off-shoot of Surrey’s Cafe and Juice Bar, with its beachy-keen decor (blown-up palm trees and beach balls included), resembles a trip to the tropics. Belly up to the juice bar for a virgin cocktail made of apple, grapefruit or carrot juice, or turn it up a notch and order a round of wheatgrass shots. Then chase it all down with some exotic sides like plantain chip and pineapple chutney spreads, and you’ll swear you’ve relocated to a resort town. Cash only—no traveler’s checks.

This sip spot is good to the last drop. Can you picture it?
