Drinks & Nightlife
The local watering hole. If you like to be where the locals are, this spot is for you. A very casual local hangout that serves cheap drinks and if you need any convenience store items in a pinch (ice, cigarettes, Advil, etc.) you can purchase them here. The owner, Orlan, is a very knowledgable bar tender and makes great conversation. If you're curious about any secret spots or recommendations on what to do, he's a great resource.

Parks & Nature
This is a great beach to spend the day with friends and/or family. The sea is calm and shallow, and there are many trees if you need to take a break from the sun. We recommend packing a cooler with food and drinks and making a day of it. Perfect spot for paddle boarding. If you walk 10 mins to the west you will find the "Secret Beach" which is very nice. Free parking is located on the street.
