Se puede bañar en esta zona o simplemente comer, también comprar pescado para preparar. Está lleno de lanchas en las cuales ofrecen los paseos que valen la pena dependiendo la temporada. En marzo pudimos ver, tortugas, delfines y ballenas. Una opción económica y entretenida, los recorridos parten a las 7am y duran alrededor de 2:30 horas.
