What to do at Boca del Drago
|
Restaurant:
There is a restaurant in Drago that serves decent sea food at reasonable prices. However,
if there are many people be prepared to wait. In this case order before you get hungry. Ask
how long it will really take and go back to the beach in the meantime. The restaurant is just
about 20 meters from the beach, so you don't have to be glued to a chair there.
Snorkeling:
At the restaurant you can rent snorkel gear and they also have a shower for customers to
rinse off and change.
Kayak:
Kayak rental is also available at the restaurant.
Or just walk the beach and swim. There is a long strech of beach on the protected lagoon
side and a smaller beach facing the ocean.
There are also some cabins to rent, but we have no reliable information on this at this time.
We will check it out and update this page accordingly.
