Getting to Bingin Beach can be a little challenging, although the well-built staircases provide good paths towards the beach at the bottom of the 30-meter cliff. Once your feet touch the sand, you’ll be rewarded with the exquisite aroma of grilled seafood in the air. Follow the scent (or read the signs) to Lucky Fish.

Expect an outdoors seafood picnic experience with an unobstructed view of the sunset. You also get to choose your own fresh fish like in the traditional markets, which the server will weigh and prepare for you. A cold glass of beer or even a glass of white wine will complement the experience very well.

The Cashew Tree takes a calmer approach to dining. Making use of natural features and foliage, the cafe and restaurant focuses on well-being with great taste. Choose from a variety of salads, poke bowls, and healthy burgers.

The Cashew Tree offers a ton of varieties for vegans, and decent portions to fulfill your nutritional needs. This year in 2021, if you aim to transition to a healthier lifestyle, let this cafe inspire you.

If the name “Gooseberry” rings a bell, it’s because it is brought to you by the chic lingerie and swimwear label, Gooseberry Intimates. The beloved boutique shop and restaurant is located just 5 minutes inland from Bingin Beach.

The quality of cuisine and service are top notch. Choose where you want to sit — in the outdoors overlooking the pool, or the air conditioned indoor seating area. Breakfast and lunch menus are separate from the dinner menu, because the night scenery makes everything even more magical. It’s definitely worth the visit.

These are just three of our top picks, with many more available in the stunning Bingin Beach area. Let us know if you’d like to see more Culinary Hot Spots for 2021 at Bingin Beach.
