Don’t forget your sunscreen! I ended up way too sunburned. Even if it’s cloudy, the sun can sneak up on you. Reapply every couple of hours just to be safe.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. Beachside cafes can be pricey and while the food is great it's nice to save some cash and munch on what you love.

I recommend hitting the beach early, around 7 AM, to snag a good spot and enjoy the sunrise. It gets crowded fast, and the morning vibe is just unbeatable!

I recommend booking the flight in advance to snag better prices. I waited too long and prices shot up. You can save a good chunk that way.

I think checking the weather before your tour is a must. We had some foggy moments that kinda blocked the views. Clear skies equal epic photos!

I suggest grabbing some local snacks from a market before heading out on the water. It's a cheap way to enjoy some good eats, I didn't do this and regretted it later.

Wear good hiking shoes, not flip flops... I saw a lot of people struggling with slippery rocks in sandals, and let me tell you, it wasn't pretty... I learned my lesson the hard way

Start your hike early around 7 am to beat the heat and the crowds. The sunrise views from the top are totally worth it, and you’ll have the trail mostly to yourself

Bring plenty of water and snacks! The trail can be more demanding than it looks, so trust me, you'll need the extra energy. I ran out of water too soon and wished I'd packed more.

Don't forget your camera! There are some stunning viewpoints along the way. I captured some pretty awesome shots, but I kinda wished I had a better zoom lens for those faraway views.

My advice is to check out the drink specials before ordering. I accidentally ordered a full-price cocktail that was way more than their happy hour drinks!

Adam December 16, 2024

I suggest hitting Manhattan Bar & Billiards right around 6 PM. It gets super crowded later, and the vibe’s still chill for a good game. Plus, you might catch some happy hour deals.

Parking can be a hassle; I found a spot pretty far away. So save some time and consider taking a taxi or rideshare if you can. It's worth it!

Eric March 10, 2025

Bring cash! Some of the beach bars don’t take cards and it’s often easier for tips. A refreshing coconut water is a must after all that sun!

Daniel December 3, 2024

I suggest wearing reef shoes or sandals because the sand can be super hot, especially in the afternoon. My feet were burning by about noon, and I regretted not packing them!

John November 26, 2024

If you’re planning to surf, try to hit the waves early around 7 am when the wind is calmer and the water is less crowded. I had the best time catching some great waves then!

I think sunset is magical at Mole Beach, so don’t miss it. Grab a beer, relax, and enjoy the colors, but be careful of the sandflies; they bite!

Bring your own snacks and drinks instead of buying from the kiosks. I found the prices were a bit steep, and packing a picnic is way more fun!
