Walk to bars next door via the beach
For those who'd like to walk to the bars that are a stones throw away without having to walk through and then around the entire development, you can walk toward the beach, walk through the gated beach entrance, take a left and follow the path to the bars/restaurants. That entrance does close (I believe around 8p), so if you're out late don't expect to be able to get back in using that route!
