I have been here many times as a local. There is a nice cafe at the northern end of the beach on the slope. The coffee, ice cream and food are very good. The area is now full of bars and restaurants, a nice place to hang out on the beach for a few hours and then go to the bar or restaurant. Tok tok is a favorite food for locals, and there will be other food for lunch or dinner. It’s a great place to spend a few hours or an afternoon. The beach itself is very nice. Our first thing in the morning is to walk the dogs before 10 o’clock (the State Department stipulates), and there are lots of dogs on the beach every morning.
