A stroll around Otres, showing also the sunsets, the Saturday night market, dinner at the beach, and an example of accommodation. I start where the road comes in to Otres, walk along the road, then at the end of the built up area go to the beach, and walk back to the starting place but along the beach.
arriving at Otres
and you can finally see the sea through the gap
looking down the main road
one of many huts for accommodation and restaurants
all with a nice view on this side of the road
I like the name
a “convenience store”
went there once

continuing along the road – mushroom hut accommodation and bar
one of my favourites – I have dinner here later
and almost at the end of the built up stretch of road – the Mushroom Point – where I stayed. It’s the opposite side of the road from the beach, and thus more private
reception area and bar
a mushroom hut with ensuite on left

inside the hut – there are lights and a fan, too
the ensuite
cross the road to the beach
and now walk back towards where we started, but this time on the beach
this is at the mushroom bar, on the beach – you can run a tab and pay at the end of the day
dogs aren’t dumb – they know where it’s cool
nice view
not really bothered by anything on the beach
further along the beach
Yes, really. I had a beer at this place, but some young guys there were smoking.
close to the end of the built up area of the beach – and close to where the road came in
beautiful sunsets here
Mushroom Bar in the evening
And on Saturday nights there is a market. About $4 by tuk tuk and 10 minutes to get there. Otres Beach becomes very quiet as many tourists and local shop owners go.
there are bands
Back at the beach at night…
the BBQ’s are good
delicious
I’m not eating at Vanny’s – $3 for … a chip, or an onion ring! And I fear that I would go completely berserk after eating the amok seafood.
Perhaps Vanny’s English expression could be better – I doubt too many otherwise would pay $3 for an onion ring. And it’s probably OK to run amok in Otres – it’s so relaxed everyone would ignore you. Amok is pretty good, actually.
