As night falls the beach slowly darkens and street vendors start to set up stall along the promenade. They sell a variety of goods from jewellry to artwork and there are ladies offering to do hair braids or temporary tattoos for the kids.

In the high season you can also see sand artists creating amazing sand sculptures at the edge of the beach, close to the promenade, which they decorate with small candles that light up their work beautifully. You can leave a small tip if you choose to.
