The only negative about the visit was it might have been nice to have open at lunch time some little place for quick food like burgers or hot dogs or something like that as often the restaurants open were crowded at lunch and I felt guilty using room service to make people wait on us. More

This is a small shell beach, not crowded which was nice. No vendors on the beach. Water is not cold, but not clear. It is a public beach. More

In late April the water was warm and clear. You have to be careful with non-swimmers or younger children because the undertow is strong. There are a lot of activities available at the beach: sailing, jet skis, wake boarding, atvs and horseback riding. These activities do not interfere with the beach experience - you can still find a quite private... More

There is plenty of room for... More
