More ambitious than your usual beachside bamboo hang-outs, Boogils offers a nightly seafood barbecue and an ever-changing line-up of fresh fare. Good pasta shows what the Italians can do with mie (noodles). Come for drinks, stay for sunset and then have a moonlit meal. (On a bike, buzz over via the paved interior lanes.)
