Very busy, great for Sunday family day! We order seafood else where and rented hammock area. Also rented a table with two chairs on the shore, it was $5 to stay so we would be able to keep an eye out for the little ones. Be sure for your kids to stay hydrated with coconut or vitamin/electrolytes because it’s very hot of course! Also we ordered a burger from one of the restaurants beside the washroom/showers, it was delicious worth the $6 burger lol (it’s was loaded)

I had dinner at a riverside tent restaurant here. I met two beautiful local girls, had drinks at a retro coffee shop, and also took some beautiful aerial photos of the river. YouTube channel: Jason travel vlog
