The waterfront hotels in the town centre run open-air terrace bars that are the most relaxed drinking option in Limbe. The setting is the main appeal: a view over the grey Atlantic, a breeze off the water, and enough distance from the beach to feel slightly removed from the weekend crowds. Castel and 33 Export are standard; some terraces also stock imported wine and spirits at corresponding prices.
These terraces are reliably open in the evenings and most afternoons, and they serve as a useful meeting point for visitors staying at guesthouses without their own bar. The pace is slow in the best sense.
