About Sai Kotari
Owing to its location at the end of the jetty, Sai Kotari is a favourite of those of you who fancy a quiet ocean-view drink. Famous for its wide selection of tea and coffee, paired with finger-licking pastries, this local tea house is even more idyllic when lights go on at dusk and you get disturbed by the splashing of jack fish and the standing up of other guests in order to observe the baby eagle rays pass by.
