The Hangout Beachbar

As a place to spend a day rather than an hour, it has what the west-coast bars do not: a shallow turquoise lagoon you can stand up in almost anywhere, constant trade wind, and windsurfers crossing in front of you all afternoon. There are loungers and shade on the sand, the bar runs all day, and the kitchen does sandwiches, salads and grilled dishes — beach food, not a menu you study.

Open from 08:00 on weekdays and 09:00 at the weekend, closing at 18:00 most days. Two exceptions worth planning around: Thursday runs on to 23:00 with a table barbecue from six, and Sunday there is a beach party from 15:00 to 21:00. Prices are beach-bar prices. Half a day, and take cash for the smaller rounds.
