Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in Northeast

Grab a local guide on the beach - they know the best spots for swimming and can even help you find areas without crowds. I met this guy who brought us to the perfect reef!

Bargain for everything! Prices were pretty high for tourists but I got a killer deal on a beach umbrella just by asking nicely and haggling a bit.

Watch the tides! Some areas are shallow and great for swimming during high tide but not so much during low. I didn’t check and ended up walking a lot further!

I recommend getting to the beach by 8 AM before it gets too hot and packed. You'll have the best sunrise views and some peace for swimming.

Bring your own snacks if you can. The food inside is ok, but it’s pretty pricey for what you get. Plus, you’ll definitely work up an appetite.

I suggest you buy your tickets online in advance. It saves some bucks and the entry line is way shorter!

I recommend checking the weather before you go. If it looks iffy, you might want to reschedule for a sunny day to fully enjoy it.

If you want a good spot to relax, hit the Lazy River early. By noon it’s usually packed and you’ll have to fight for a float!

One thing I noticed is to wear some grippy socks! The rental shoes can be a bit slippery, and I thought I’d nearly faceplant several times, haha.

If you want to save some cash, ask if they have any ongoing promotions or deals for bowling games. I stumbled upon a discount for my second game that made everything much sweeter.

Don't skip the food! The menu has some great snacks that pair well with bowling. I suggest trying the chicken wings; they're super tasty!

If you can, try to go on a weekday rather than the weekend. It's way less crowded, and you can really enjoy your game without waiting too long for a lane.

Get to the stadium at least 1.5 hours early. The lines for security and entry can be long, and you don't want to miss the atmosphere of pre-game excitement!

After the game, head to the nearby bars for post-match celebrations. I really enjoyed the vibe, but avoid the ones too close to the stadium; they can get crowded and overpriced.

If you can, try to catch a match on a weekday instead of the weekend; tickets are often cheaper and the crowd is a bit more chill.

Keep an eye on your belongings. I saw some reviews mentioning pickpockets near the entrance; just stay alert and keep your bags close.

If you're planning to grab food nearby, look for local eateries instead of the tourist traps. I found a small place just a few blocks away with killer local dishes at half the price.

My advice is to check the match schedule ahead of time. Even if there's no game, the stadium has a cool vibe and sometimes hosts other events worth catching.

I suggest arriving a bit early, like around 10 AM, to beat the crowds and snag some great photos without a bunch of people in the background.

Consider using public transport to get there. It was way cheaper than parking, and I enjoyed the ride with the locals more than I thought I would!

Don’t skip the lazy river! It’s a nice way to relax between rides, and I found it surprisingly refreshing after all the excitement.

Wear water shoes. Some surfaces can get slippery, and they really saved my feet from getting sore while walking around.

Plan to arrive right when the park opens at 10 AM. This way you can hit the most popular attractions before the lines get crazy

Definitely bring cash! There aren’t many ATMs nearby, and some beachside bars don’t accept cards. I ran out of cash and missed out on some delicious snacks!
