Playa Zoni is out past the north side of Dewey heading east past the airport on a scenic drive. On your final approach to Zoni you come over a hill and it is stretched out below you with the obvious protection of a couple of not so small islands beyond, and St. Thomas beyond them. The vista is remarkable. The parking at Zoni is much more informal at Zoni. There are no services there as there were at Flamenco, but like Flamenco the wave action is fairly gentle and the beach goes on and on. There are some areas where you can escape from the sun here, but far less than at Flamenco. It is much more of a sun worshippers beach.
"It takes longer to get here, so it's less crowded, and just as good as Playa Flamenco (without the food and restroom options). We took a taxi to get there ($15 each way). We actually spent most of our time past the rocks on the west side. Playa Brava looks too far to walk from here, but Playa Larga Beach looks reachable."
"Jumhoree Maidhaan, also known as Republic Square is located between the fish market and the main jetties. During the day you can see lots of locals and expats around, especially from India and Bangladesh. It has a few sitting options underneath a couple of trees, making it a perfect rest and relax area after some shopping, and an opportunity to watch people. Tip: avoid the area if you should hear of any demonstrations in Male. It didn't happen recently, but often in 2011/2012. "
