Gorgeous setting and lot's of activities as well with the locals hanging out with their trucks etc and the scotch...they love their scotch here.
The Beach is picturesque and the water feels amazing. Definitely one of the best beaches in the world. Ya definitely put your food in a backpack or else the racoons or monkeys will take it. They are cool to see for a minute but they can get annoying

Great beach inside the park. Beach has a lot of strong waves and undertow though. Not very good for swimming. Beware of the pizotes and monkeys. They will take your things! :)
