The Shak Beach Cafe — Restaurant in Placencia

The staff was friendly, but did not check on us after delivering the food, and they only offered jam for our fry jacks as we were paying the bill. Free parking is available in the lot...

Was looking for a place with solid food nearby our scuba dive center. We found the shak beach cafe and it exceeded our expectations! The staff was amazing and our waitress was fantastic.
