Easy walk
We arrived at noon time with good sunshine. Walk is easy for elderly which is juz about 15-20 mins in total (including photo time). We mandated to secure parking space, but 1 was waiting when we about to leave.

Interesting Corral holes
Maybe next time I will scuba in these 2 pond like holes. Apparently these are connected to the ocean via a under water tunnel and it's fantastic for scuba diving. No admission fee, about a 75 meters walk in a shaded walk way to the ponds. The board walk extends another 200+ meters past the ponds, you will see how vegetation are growing on top of old corral reefs. It is a scenic stroll, may sure to wear sun block and bring cold drinks during hot summer days.

Interesting pair of ponds
These are two round ponds linked to each other under the sea. In the parking lot are a couple signs describing the local lore surrounding the creation of the two ponds, They are reached by a 10 minute walk along some heavy vegetation. One plant had fruit that looked very similar to a pineapple. At the ponds, is a pavilion and some benches on either side. A walkway goes between the ponds. You can continue on the walkway for maybe 30 meters before it is roped off for repairs. You get some more views of the coast.
