Barefoot Beach Bar — Restaurant in Placencia

I was next door trying to sleep. My friend and I en route to a dive destination. We walked through this place as the tourist music was going into the weee hours of A Sunday night and we could not sleep. We had walked down the beach to lay in a blanket and gaze at the moon. There was no sleep to be had in our beds.

As a stand alone Barefoot was awesome!!! My drink the lobster grilled cheese the shrimp tacos all of it was super delicious.
