What beach is the busiest on the South coast?
I haven't given up on the bar in ZC. Not yet. I was just wondering because most people seem to talk about the beaches on the other coast.
That's because most of the more vocal
board members live on/near the other coast. I still haven't figured out why people come south to live on the north (cold Atlantic) side of an island but I guess partly because that is the side of the island that was first developed as a tourist area!
Jojocho had it........ anything southeast of Juan Dolio is AI territory and you'd starve to death with a beach bar. Even BC and JD are not ideal candidates at the moment for "bars" as there are already too many for the number of tourists around. A small restaurant or restaurant/bar would be a better bet..........

Hola Jan!!
Every now and then, we like to go on a day trip to the beach.
Sometimes, when I don?t want to make the drive through the capital out to B/C, I go the other way. Of course, once other people in the family hear this, all of a sudden we have a Caravan going. That leads to a split in the drivers, because half of the people want to go to B/C, and the rest want to go the other way. So we usually alternate between them.
I have been to some really nice beaches in Punta Palenque, and Bani. They are not as nice as B/C in terms of Blue Water & White Sands. But I really enjoy the scenery on the drive out there. For me there is a lot less pressure from the locale vendors. It may just be me, but the drive is pleasant, and there is a more laid back atmosphere, and when I get home, I feel great.
B/C on the other hand, is nicer by comparison, but has a sell, sell, sell, atmosphere, gets me in trouble with my Wife,( I always have to pick up my eyes and put them back in.) and dealing with the traffic in the Capital on the way back home, when I get there, I'm usually exhausted. :tired:
Next up are some overnighters to the beaches on the North Shore.
Thanks

Jan,I can really see you running a Bar in Boca Chica!
Why not go and work there for a few months to get the "lay of the land"?Bars are always opening and closing there! I think that you could make iot work! You are not interested in making a "Killing" off the tourists,just making a living! Am I right? Do it! After those 7 oz. Presidentes I "discovered" the other day,I may start drinking again!I'll be there every weekend! CRIS
