THINGS TO DO: TAKE A SWIM: Swim in the lovely warm safe water right in front of the house at high tide. There are no currents or big waves to worry about. Make sure to bring water shoes as the bottom is rocky. At low tide wade in the tide pools. Find an amazing assortment of shells, stones and sea creatures. Bring your snorkel gear and flippers out to Cabuya Island to see coral and tropical marine life. Swim in the cool pools at the mouth of the river Lajas, only a ten minute walk along the beach.

Take your book and beach chair to the shady water's edge and enjoy the sound of the waves and the tropical breeze. Build a sand castle and go beach combing with the kids. The beach changes regularly with the tide. You will be amazed at the treasures that you will find. Take a stroll past the second supermarket and follow the signs to the Rainsong Wildlife Sanctuary where Mary will introduce you to all the fascinating local wildlife. Watch the moon rise over the ocean and see the splendid night sky unfold before your eyes right in front of the house.
