if you want some fun activities without breaking the bank, look for beach sports options like beach volleyball or paddle boarding. i paid way less than expected and it was such a blast!

I suggest getting to the beach around 9 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy the sunrise. The morning vibe is simply amazing and the beach is less crowded, making it perfect to snap some cool photos.

I recommend checking the tides before heading out. I went at high tide and ended up with limited space to relax on the sand, so knowing the schedule is a total game-changer.

My advice is to pack your own snacks and drinks. Beachside food can be pricey, and I found some cute little cafes that are reasonably priced but they were a bit far from the beach

My advice is to wear reef-safe sunscreen... I burnt my shoulders on the first day, and it was such a hassle... Plus, it helps protect the ocean!

I suggest bringing some snacks and water, because the beach bars can get pricey. I ended up spending way more than I planned just on drinks.

I recommend checking out the local vendors for souvenirs but don’t be afraid to haggle. I found some great deals but only after some friendly negotiating.

I recommend checking out the local artisans. They have some unique crafts that are affordable. I almost missed them, but I'm glad I stumbled upon this hidden gem!

I think bringing your own snacks is a smart move – the food options can be a bit pricey and not always what you expect, so save some cash and pack a picnic instead.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The walk along the waterfront is long and you might want to explore every corner. I regretted it when my feet started to ache!

My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The park is bigger than it looks, and you might do more walking than you expect.

I suggest you go early, like around 8 AM, when it opens. The animals are more active and you'll avoid the crowds later in the day.

Adam December 8, 2024

I think bringing your own snacks and drinks is a good idea, as prices at the park can be a bit steep, especially for families

I recommend checking out the evening events if you can they're usually less crowded and you get a really chill vibe with beautiful sunsets

My advice is to visit early in the morning around 8 AM. The beach is less crowded, the sun isn’t too intense yet, and you can snag a good spot to lay your towel

I suggest bringing your own snorkeling gear to save some cash, cause rentals can be pricey and they might not have your size. Plus, it’s always better using your own stuff!

My advice is to grab some snacks and drinks before heading to the beach. The prices at local shops can be a bit steep, and you can save a lot by just packing your own stuff!

I suggest checking the tidal schedule before you go – visiting during low tide gives you more beach to explore and the water is perfect for swimming. I missed out on some cool spots because I didn't plan around it!

My advice is to bring a camera with a zoom lens. You'll want to capture those stunning butterflies up close! I didn't, and regretted not getting better shots.

I suggest visiting in the morning around 9 AM to avoid the crowds and get the butterflies at their most active. I went around noon and it was way too packed!

Definitely check their entrance fees online before you go; they have discounts for students and groups, so you might save a bit. I wish I had looked it up beforehand!

Get there around 9 AM when it opens – it's less crowded, and you'll have a better chance to see the crocodiles being fed. Trust me, it’s fascinating to watch
