A soft sand floor, overhanging palm trees, great coffee and a fine breakfast menu (including spectacular waffles with mango and coconut cream) make this one of the most appealing spots to hang out in Pantai Cenang. To get here, follow the path by the creek at the northern end of the beach and take the footbridge.
