I enjoyed relaxing on the rocky Mulini beach while the kids enjoyed the waters. The guide was helpful by explaining that the beach was free unless when renting an item. It was a cheaper option for the family and we had a lot of fun. will visit again.

The suggestions given in the guide were a masterpiece to our tour here, we took a walk through the pine forest trail and it was super fun walking bare feet on the pebble bay. The fossils reminded me of my history class.
