Breakfast, lunch and dinner on the sand or in the restaurant; walk-ins welcome but reservations recommended - same-day booking closes at 4:30 pm and there are no reservations on Saturdays (janthielbeach.com). Wednesday 'Unplugged Beach Sessions', a Saturday happy hour with DJ and live band and a 'Shaky Sunday' - check the events page. Jan Thiel is about 1.5 km west of the Spanish Water entrance; go by taxi, bus or a long walk from the anchorage rather than landing a dinghy on the swimming beach.
