Perhaps the nightlife is your scene. Put on your dancing shoes and head to Happy Belly’s for some Spanish dancing right on the Jobos beach.

If food is your thing, visit a local bakery or deli. There are so many wonderful foods to enjoy. Be sure to try a “pastelito.” Some come filled with sweet things like guava, pineapple, or coconut, for a mid-day snack.
