Lunch near Chera Dip

Walking back from Chera Dip hungry? Here's what our restaurant at the south end serves, and what a simple lunch costs.

The south end of Saint Martin's Island is quiet, which also means fewer places to eat than near the jetty. If you've walked out to Chera Dip at low tide, you'll come back hungry. The restaurant at El Marena Eco Resort is close by, and it serves our guests and visitors.
