The sound of the waves has a calming effect that puts your mind at ease, creating the perfect tropical atmosphere. Just sitting and watching the sea or wading ankle-deep in the cool water to observe schools of the fish dart by is sometimes all the entertainment that is needed. The boardwalk is a great place to observe wildlife; As part of one of the major nesting beaches of the endangered Hawksbill turtles, you are likely to spot several nesting females coming onto shore at night in hopes to lay their eggs. These delightful and delicate creatures are a sight to see as they meticulously go about their business, and the babies (hatchlings) are “oh so adorable” after they hatch and attempt their journey to the sea. Various types of seabirds and other marine animals can be observed in the water or on the small beaches dotted along the boardwalk.
