Most of these bars have free entry and cheaper drinks than the clubs, but still have great local or international guest DJs playing. You only need 20 or 30 people to create a really great atmosphere, and these are often the scene for many a legendary night out.
Many of the beach bars start getting busy from early afternoon and really get going from 17:00 or 18:00 until midnight. Other bars start getting busy early evening and will run until late.
