Kenting nightmarket is located on central road - Kenting road in a heart of Kenting. It is not in Nanwan at all, so in case you stay in Nanwan area (also featured in my blog), then you need go more down Kenting road to get to the night market. Here is a google sattelite image of Kenting nightmarket.

Nightmarkets ends somewhere at Ceaser Hotel, so it's about 30 minutes for slow walk through in one direction, and then back.
Weekends and public holidays it's going to be extremely crowded, especially in summer. Come in winter, or weekdays and you will get less people, but then also there will be less merchants in nightmarket.
Amy's Cucina - left side here. Quite a famous place in Kenting, specializing for Italy cuisine, if you like pizzas, mozarrelas and the like. Usually crowded and if you really want to have a dinner here better reserve a table before. Right side one of numerous surf and beach items shop.
Almost all houses on Kenting street at first floor have a shop or restaurant, while second and third floor is homestay or small hotel. Of course 99 % of revenues are earned at weekends and holidays. Come weekdays and you can bargain very low price here.
Like in all nightmarkets in Taiwan kids entertainment are present also here.
Juicy BBQ and fried meat.
7ELEVEN, HIGH LIFE and Family Mart - all are on Kenting rd, and by words from locals - their revenue in weekends are huge, if not fantastic.
If you want to have such small table everywhere on a street - price per night (!) is NTD 1000,- (paid to the house owner in front of which you stand) and this does not includes a fee to be paid to police for allowing you stand and sell something on street. But it pays off as merchants say, and even if you want, you hardly can get a place in most busy places in Kenting nightmarket.
Merchants use various ways to attract customers attention to their product. Somewhere near Ceasar Park Hotel there is bar in truck as well.
Shop rental price in Kenting is fantastic, so I still can not understand - do they really make profit selling such cheap bath shoes here? Bigger hotels in Kenting give them away for free.
Sign says something like - students choice - pay for food and get rice as much you want for free. Budgetary restaurant.
If you choose to stay in those hotels, prepare for a noise for all night.
Thai cuisine for some reason is quite popular in Kenting. This restaurant also claims to have it.
If you think that it's much people here, then come at dragon boat festival or any longer holidays. It's not much people for Kenting night market at all.
Guava fruit.
If you decide that you need a tattoo right now and here - you are welcome.
It should not be permanent of course...
Some kind of tofu here
This dog lives on a table here
More BBQ
Although you may feel like participating in Fear Factor show, however, those spiral shells (螺) can be delicious.
People, food and homestays - that's basically what Kenting road is.
One of things special to Kenting is a colorful clothes - skirts, shirts, shorts and alike. mostly made in thailand.
Typical situation to Kenting - first floor restaurant and then hotel at the second.
Traditional ice cream restaurant. Interest place, as it's allowed to write on walls here anything you want.
Really, most are hotels
As already mentioned above - much clothes shops here sells Hawaii style shorts with palms and sunflowers.
If tattoo is not what you want, this woman can make a painting - basically your name in chinese style.
Sea food restaurant
Another sea food restaurant
And that's a pub with loud music, DJ and dance floor.
And you thought there is no McDonalds, KFC or Starbucks? Think again
LuWei.
it looks like japan shopping distric. Store everywhere even on the street and food everywhere too.
