It costs $15 per person to enter this refuge and it is worth it. Nice parking area and camping available. Many iguanas running around. Beautiful beach, easy to walk on. There is a crocodile area...

Amazing beach and very calm sea. They are keeping the place very clean and neat. The number of people every day is limited, so arrive in time and make sure you bring cash to pay the ticket. It is worth it!
