A stunning natural landscape, a protected area with no development. Access to the beaches can be limited when the Turtles have laid their eggs. Combine this with a visit to The Last Castle restaurant.

Shopping
An air-conditioned shopping centre with ample underground parking, it has everything you may need from food to high-end clothing. If you have kids, be sure to visit Jumbo it is an Aladdins cave of inexpensive items to help keep them amused and don't be fooled by the small entrance it is very big!!
