Why You Should Visit
A market on the central plaza of Suma Beach where you eat, shop and linger with the sea in view. A few Suma residents set it up in 2023 and have run it with local shops and makers since that November. Season 4 runs four times between October 2026 and May 2027. On October 11, 34 vendors take part, from food trucks, coffee and baked goods to sundries, books, flowers and workshops, and Hale suma performs from 1 pm. Visitors are asked to bring their own dishes and cups to cut waste.
