The only place to check email within walking-distance of the beach is the Copal Blue Cafe, though location isn't its only strong point. Computer-wise it's fine: fast connection, good computers, not outrageous pricing, etc. But more importantly it has great lighting, good music, and a wide selection of tasty beverages. On every occassion I picked the chai, and was always pleased. Just off-camera to the left is a large magazine rack with reasonably-current issues of many leading titles. In the foreground is a guitar, which can be picked up by any adventurous guest (as well as a pair of bongos, not pictured). Comfortable pillows adorn the floors and incense fills the air. Overall, a very nice place indeed.
