raha Beach adds a bit of texture to the otherwise concrete and neon-lit Hamby Town. Araha beach is part sandy retreat, part fun-park. Right off the cusp of Climax Coffee, night markets, restaurants, San-A and clothing stores, this beach, offers basketball courts, a pirate ship jungle gym, water rides during the summer and picnic tables. Whether you want to take a stroll on the beach after a dinner date or you want to cruise down the zip lines pretending to be a pirate warrior, Araha Beach serves both requests. To get there, drive out Camp Foster’s Kitamae (Commissary) Gate and go right. Continue straight for three traffic lights. At the third light, turn left. You will see San-A on your left. Araha Beach will be straight ahead. Google map link: http://goo.gl/UzPjYv
