Parks & Nature
We highly recommend a walk around the beach! There’s a nice walking path taking you around the lagoons (approx 30 minutes around the first lagoon/approx 60 minutes around both lagoons). If the weather is nice, the beach is sandy and perfect for a swim. There’s also plenty of places along the way to get an ice cream or a cup of coffee.
