Eating Out

Restaurants a plenty in El Yaque, no use trying to keep and up to date list here. If you travel alone, a good olace to start is "Sharks", as all surfers and world travelers tend to end upo there. Its one of the least expensive palces, right on the beach. Relatively fancy dining in the restaurant of Hotel California and "Jean Luc's" (Chicken-chocolate on the menu!)

When To Go

The best months are December till and included April. Most popular months tend to be Februari & March. Avoid the Semana Santa week, as the beach and sea are cramped with Venezuelan party-goers and watersport is nearly impossible. Google for it to be sure when this party is held. (Of course if you want to join the party and not surf, you may include this week in your itenerary :-).
