In the area of Jan Thiel this is your best bet for a beach style dinner. Smal(ler) bites from the grill, picknick tables, situated next to the sea. For an instant tropical holiday feeling.

Do you want to listen to Jack Johnson, while zipping from a fresh lemonade, eating a bagel with avocado? Visit Koko's! Although Jan Thiel is the most touristic beach area, Koko's is the hidden gem. The beach is not that big, entry quite small, but their supersized beds compensate a lot.
