You arrive with sand between your toes and the surf quietly setting the tempo—palm fronds tapping like a metronome above a bamboo bar. Doreen's Beach Restaurant sits directly on Cabier Beach, where a reef shelters a shallow swimming area and the chef cooks over locally made charcoal. The smell of coconut oil and spices rises as plates of Oil Down, curried lambi and stuffed snapper move from the fire to the table.
