The road to get here is long and bumpy. Was very windy and lots of seaweed. However it was very beautiful and still glad we stopped by.

Yes it’s abandoned but still worth checking out. Sadly we didn’t see any turtles on the day we went but the birds were cool. Water was murky but it rained that day.
