Most stores open between 9am and 10 am and close for lunch around 12pm or 1pm and sometimes don&#8217;t open again until 2pm or 3pm. While the stores then stay open until 6pm or 7pm, the morning is when most of the parking spots are available. You can build a whole day around shopping if you like, visiting the stores in the morning, taking a lunch break at one of the beach bars, then returning afterward.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2df657b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"
