Spent a couple of hours on the beach here before going home the next day. Hurricane Irma caused a lot of their attractions to be closed, so we got in for half the price. It was a nice time spent there. I'd definitely come back after they start running at full speed again. Wouldn't mind taking part in some of the activities they have to offer.
Nice park to visit! No doubt, the Mangrove makes it a special place to be. Not so good for snorkeling though I would prefer to have a guide in the water with me and my daughters at all times!. Besides that great experience. We rented a boat and that was cool!
Very family oriented place. Something for everyone from all ages to do. They have 2 different designated areas for beaches. They have a small playground. They have a small aquatic museum. They have a few different pavilions with picnic tables and bbq grills spread throughout property. There are bathrooms and showers located at both beaches. They is a small shop where you can grab something to snack on or drink. They also sale beach towels, suntan lotion, sun block, cameras, souvenirs and different swimming paraphernalia. As well as rent a canoe or kayak. There are also fishing charters available. There are a few hiking trails there as well.
There isn't much of a beach. Just a rocky over crowded area. Remember to bring water shoes. Snorkeling from the beach is okay. There are parts of a sunken ship and an old cannon that attract some fish. The kids loved playing on the rocks and seeing the fish and crabs. It is beautiful but not spectacular by any means. The boat ride out to the Christ statue and coral makes for a much better snorkel experience.
We are staying at the campground. The rangers and workers are very nice and always have a smile. The campsites are very small and right on top of each other. Love the gravel. It made for easy setup and a clean site. We are on site 4. There is absolutely no shade on even site numbers due to hurricane Irma. The aquarium is closed and the stores are being run out of mobil containers. We've been trying to camp here for years. Disappointed not running at full potential. (stupid hurricane)
