Activities
The owners are happy to arrange boat trips to visit local attractions, tours of the Bay, fishing trips, and other activities. They have kayaks available along with a volleyball court and there is often live music and dancing.
Sustainability
- The owners are involved in the local solid waste committee, and also clean the beach daily.
- All of the ingredients used in the restaurant are bought from local fishermen or from the local market.
- They try to minimize their use of water since water comes from 2 kilometers away through pipes, so they are always very careful with their use of water.
