80's Movies that Spent Time in the Sun and Sand

Back in 1988, Tom Cruise was in a movie that spent a good part of its time on some fabulous beaches in Jamaica. But Cruise's character wasn't on vacation, he was down in the tropics seeking work as a celebrity bartender.

He does find true love, but gets sidetracked by a wealthy female executive in search of a boy toy. He comes to his senses upon returning to New York, and dumps the society dame with the classic line "All things end badly, otherwise they wouldn't end."

The film earned Cruise a 'Razzie' award, and was probably the last time he played a party guy before he started seeking more substantial film roles. What was the name of this film?

Bonus Question: Another film from 1988 also featured plenty of sand and surf, and attempted to recall the beach blanket classics of the Sixties. The film was set in 1963, and follows the adventures of Phoebe Cates and her three friends as they seek one last fling before committing to marriage and adult responsibilities. What's the name of the ocean side community, known for its fabulous beaches, where most of the story takes place?
