Why go to a place with such a "yucky" name? Because there are very few beaches or places you can enter the water, especially without shredding your feet to bits, because most of the waterfront is coral and rock. The few sandy places/good water entry points that exist, have "beach clubs" on them. And yesterday, I was looking for a bit of "luxury". And "Money Bar" is world famous, didn't you know?!
It was a nice bike ride. About 7 km each way.
The beach club was nice, despite it's conspicuous name. It has a nice restaurant, beach chairs, tables/chairs, bathrooms, outdoor showers, and sand!
There, I swam, ate, rested, and chatted with various people. While swimming, I saw several pretty fish and a little bit of coral. According to some, i would have seem more had i swam out further from the beach. The meal i had was the 1st "fancy" meal i've had since beeing here - a fish filet with salad.
Note: I swam first, then ate. I was a bit concerned about the karma of eating fish then swimming with them....
That reminds me, I also swam at a restaurant/dock called "No Name" the other day. It's popular with ship crew. The swimming was crappy, way too close to several docks and boats. But, while swimming there, I saw a sting ray! It was about 4' wide and it's tail looked about 3' long. VERY cool!
