This hub for entrepreneurship, which is part of a growing, membership-based network of beach clubs, also serves up delicious food and drinks from a stunning seafront perch. Yes to the ginger latte, yes to the fresh coconut water with lavender and dragon fruit, yes to the happiness bowl of raw salad, avocado, fresh herbs, nuts, seed and other goodness.

Although this is mainly a place to linger, snack and socialise, the space is regularly used for engaging talks on conservation and the environment.
