A lot of people stay there in tents (it looks like the camping grounds of a festival) and I guess they all turn up for lunch around the same time. At the latter location the lines were very long around lunch time. Restaurants are available at Arrefices and Cabo San Juan del Guia. Cabo San Juan del Guia has nice beaches and a beautiful spot on top of a hill right on the coast line with amazing views.
