You can dance if you want or watch the others dance! Some nights theres a live band. ;;Food is usually available from about 7:00 pm but if you go early (say 5:45 pm) you can walk on the pier and perhaps see a great sunset. Collect your fish scraps from the vendors in the fish market and feed the turtles. ;;Frequented by visitors and locals alike, it's a great place to spend an informal evening. Lots of parents bring their children. ;;If you go after 8:00, be prepared occasionally for long waits for food. ;;Dress down!
