“Relax in the sun and eat until you burst.” These are the two commandments of summer. Around this time of year, the beach becomes like a second home to us. We are able to settle in for several hours, interrupted only by quick dips and sunscreen applications in our quest for the perfect tan. And that’s why being able to escape the sun for a while under the shade of a beach bar that offers something tasty along with some music is so appealing.
There are many beaches that offer this sort of thing, and it even seems like the market is becoming increasingly competitive. Nowadays you can find everything from simple snacks to more luxurious bites just steps from the shore. Here are a few examples to whet your appetite:
Chiringuito Pepe, Fuengirola Beach (Malaga)
Known for its delicious fish cooked over coals, this place is a must for fans of grilled seafood. And it has views of the sea.
La Plage, Playa d´en Bossa (Ibiza)
Ibiza is sure to have a spot in this list, since it is so easy to find a snack bar at any of its beaches. You’ll usually find a chilled-out atmosphere with a touch of glamour that is typical of the island. In La Plage, they’ve thought of everything: white hammocks, live DJ´s, sushi, and even boats that can ferry VIP guests back and forth to their yachts. Ibiza pure.
Margaritaville, Pensacola Beach (USA)
As part of the hotel with the same name, it shares the same spirit. Hammocks under palm trees, live music and a schedule of endless activities, including outdoor movies as well as ping pong or beach volleyball championships.
Pelican Bar, Negril (Jamaica)
Although we’re not sure if it can be considered a beach bar since it’s not technically on the beach, we still wanted to mention it due to its originality. It’s worth the short 20-minute boat ride to get there. Once you’re there, you’ll find out what it’s like to relax with a beer in the middle of the ocean, amidst the pelicans and crystal clear waters.
Uxua Praia, Bahia (Brazil)
Located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, the Uxua Praia is the perfect spot for anyone looking to combine relaxation and activity. They offer a variety of activities, including kayaking and capoeira, which are easily compatible with the mojitos and caipirinhas that will make the day complete.
