| What to do on the west coast Five minutes walk down from Caribbean Sea View Holiday Apartments is the village Mero. At the long black volcanic sandy beach you won't feel like someone is laying on top of you. Great for snorkeling and relaxing in the sun. Mero have little shops and bars along the village road (the only road) where you can get something to eat or just have a drink, shop the basics like Egg, Coffee, Tea or cereals. The best shop to do so is Sunset Sweet Treats they have the most items and a mini pharmacy located in the beginning of the village. If you like to "lime" with the locals and enjoy a cold Kubuli (the local beer) or rum punch, Connies Mero Beach Bar is the place to be. A Sunday hang out for locals and a popular destination for the Cruise chip travelers. You can order Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner at Connies let them know in advance.
