The Soggy Peso was named after a palapa bar in the Virgin Islands called the Soggy Dollar - according to a "reliable" source from Leduc, Alberta. The San Carlos Soggy Peso is located on what people call the Catch 22 beach. The beach itself has beautiful white sand that appears to go on forever.
The Soggy Peso is a popular palapa bar that attracts kite boarders and beach lovers alike. We have gone out on windy days just to watch the boarders performing in the bay. Maggie has spent a few days spalshing in the water and generally showing off to the tourists who frequent the little bar.
The Soggy Peso can almost be classed the "perfect palapa bar". The only drawback is the distance from Totonaka as it is approximately 10 kms from home.
The outside tables are situated right on the beach and there is nothing better than digging your toes into the cool sand on a hot day. The bar food at the Soggy Peso is also very good, especially the crab tacos.
Probably the biggest surprise, especially for Doug and Lenore, would be the clean washrooms. They are brand new and the nicest in all of San Carlos. You had to be here last year to really appreciate this last bit of information.
The Soggy Peso does a thriving business selling T shirts and caps from its store behind the bar. Almost everyone we hang around with wears some sort of Soggy Peso clothing, Fred and I included.

The clean, new washrooms would be a wonderful addition to a great palapa bar. I posted a picture of the washrooms last year at http://rv-having-fun.blogspot.com.
