All S&S getogethers start about 4ish in the afternoon (or earlier if you see fit) because when the sun goes down, Sammi an Suzies closes down otherwise he gets busted by the cops. If it is dark when you get there it is too late you have missed out.
Depending on where you are coming from you get there either by the beach road (runs next to the beach) or by Jl Melasti.
When you reach the turn where the beachroad turns into Melasti you will see, on your right from Melasti, or straight ahead from the beachroad, a small carpark with a huge boomgate and a small security guard hut at the back of this carpark. The boom is chained down and the hut is empty (was when I was there).
Go past the gate and keep walking north, on the paving, keeping the beach on your left. About 300m up you will see a cream colored building on your right, this is the surf club building, it is a small building about the size of a large garage.
Opposite this building is a gap in the brick wall with a crossover over the drain; you will also find the huge tree's there. Walk thru the tree's and you will see the lifeguard tower on your left, which is hidden by the trees, it is not that tall.
By the edge of the trees there should be a red esky on a blue painted wooden table. This is Sammy an Suzie's, you have found it. Another thing to look for is the streets ice-cream umbrella. If you yell out Sammy when you get there, you will be approached by a fella with the toothiest smile you have ever seen, this is Sammy. He will greet you with the warmest of welcomes.
Sammy is a lovely bloke but if he is not there make sure to ask that when he will be there. There's a rumour that he is living the life of luxury at home and making Suzie go down everyday to do the work (lol).
Anyway I hope this helps you with trying to find it, the first time is the worst but once you have been there it is dead easy to find.
