There are also a number of other good restaurants within walking distance or a short drive, so check out our Restaurant pages and plan your trip to Directors Bay today!
Fuik Beach

Fuik Beach

This beautiful remote beach is only reachable by boat, and is home to some of the wildest partying on the island. Most Sundays, boats, jet skis, and dingies gather here for drinking and swimming. There is nothing quite like Fuikdag, which is held on the first Sunday of the New Year. On that day thousands of people descend on the area for a day of floating in brightly colored inner-tubes, drinking, eating, and dancing to loud music blasting from every direction.
Jan Thiel Beach

Jan Thiel Beach

Jan Thiel Beach is a vibrant and energetic destination known on the Island for its beach clubs, restaurants, and upbeat atmosphere. It's a perfect place to sip cocktails and enjoy delicious meals while taking in the island's lively beach scene. Zanzibar offers great food and music, and is a hot spot for late-night partying. Excellent swimming and water sports opportunities. There can be a nominal entrance fee if you park in the lot (you can park on the road for free) and a small fee for rental chairs. This is a great people-watching venue, as the bars tend to attract a hip young dating app crowd. It’s a fun beach to meet the crowd, and (if you are traveling alone) this is an easy and casual place to make new friends.
Kite Beach (Sint Joris Bay)

Kite Beach (Sint Joris Bay)

Sint Joris Bay - also known as Kite Beach - has far more activities going on than just kiting. Located on a natural lake that is fed with seawater, it provides a unique spot for water activities that you won’t find anywhere else on the Island quite like this. Yes, it’s known for kitesurfing, and there is lots of that going on most days—even without wind, they can tow you behind a boat. There is also paddle boarding and windsurfing available. If you are a beginner kitesurfer, there are lessons available, and if you are a pro, then what are you waiting for? This is your place to be. This is one of the few beaches that has an organized camping area with washrooms, showers, chairs, and a bar/restaurant. The Kite Beach team is great, but it can be a bit tricky to find them, so here are some basic directions. Street names are complex or non-existent on the island—so we tend to talk in landmarks. Here goes: Drive to the Aloe Farm, then follow the road to the Ostrich Farm. You have to pass the entrance of the Ostrich Farm and drive all the way to the shoreline via the sand road. About 100 meters before reaching the shoreline, you’ll see a port at your left side with the indication “Private Property”. Enter this port and drive to the second port at the entrance of Kite Beach. You can park your car outside of the port or ask at the bar to park inside the premises. Easy, right?

Pirate Bay Beach

Pirate Bay Beach

This spot in Piscadera Bay is popular with both travelers and locals. Though one restaurant has the most ‘beach’ real estate, there are a couple of other popular restaurants/bars alongside it. Enjoy beach beds, showers, cocktails and a happy hour with a great sunset from the deck or sand. The snorkeling and diving are okay but probably not why most people come here. For travelers staying anywhere in Piscadera Bay, this beach is just a short walk away. Relax, chill, and expect that things are going to move a bit more on ‘Island time’ here than at most other venues. The famous De Viserrij Piscadera Restaurant is right next door, and is super casual with a gorgeous view of the bay.
Tugboat Beach

Tugboat Beach

This is one of the most popular beaches on the Island thanks to the intriguing tugboat that sank under the waves decades ago. At only about 15 feet /5 meters deep, it is accessible to both divers and snorkelers. This boat tends to be a hotspot for vibrant tropical fish so it's perfect for Instagram photos. Chances of seeing an Octopus, Sea Horse, or Lobster are all pretty good. The beach also has a great bar that is made from recycled materials; even the furnishings are made almost entirely from natural products like coconuts, driftwood, and items the owners have found from the sea. We recommend sitting on the terrace and exploring it all with your eyes. You’ll also find a menagerie of animals around the bar including iguanas, cats, and dogs that all live in harmony.
