Everything Else

Very close, about a ten minute drive. If you have a Costco card, it's the best place to buy gas and stock up if you're planning on being here for a week or two.

Local yacht harbor with two distinct beaches. One is a great local snorkeling beach, the other is a protected turtle sanctuary. They are both less than 15 minutes fro our sanctuary.
