needsomebeach,

Are you staying at SATP on Bloody Bay?

This Past June I was at Coco La Palm on Long Bay and our morning routine with several beach vendors evolved over the week. I was there with my GF and her two adult children (19 & 20).

We ended up buying the majority of our fruit from one lady. She would arrive by 9:30am and we would order two large bags each of FRESH CUT Coconut and pineapple. We rented two rooms right off the beach, so we would walk the bags of fruit back to the rooms and put two bags in each fridge for snacking through the day. We usually bought a bunch of Honey Bananas every other day or so. Sometimes we bought oranges.

We all enjoyed the show as she set down her bags and extracted the various coconuts and Pineapples and her machete. She proceed to dice them up and bag them. I'm guessing we paid less than US$10 per day for everything, but the show was entertaining.

Even though we were tourists on a short stay, we felt that we had gained a friend. When she realized we would try just about anything, everyday she showed up with something new. I wish I could remember all the interesting things she offered us to try, but can't recall.

I understand you need to know the cost, but don't forget the adventure!

Enjoy,
